Cost-effectiveness of comparative survey designs for helminth control programs: Post-hoc cost analysis and modelling of the Kenyan national school-based deworming program. by Mark Minnery, Collins Okoyo, Grace Morgan, Andrew Wang, Olatunji Johnson, Claudio Fronterre, Antonio Montresor, Suzy J Campbell, Charles Mwandawiro, Peter Diggle

“…<h4>Interpretation</h4>Efficiency gains are possible for deworming surveys when considering cost alone, such as through minimizing sample or analysis costs. However further efficiency maximization is possible when designing surveys using MBG given its improved precision and ability to optimize the balance between number of schools and sample size per school.…”
