The effectiveness of the provision of deworming drug was seen both during the project cycle and right after the project completion, using available data on a randomized-controlled health intervention project in rural Bangladesh. Regarding the impact of health education, while it has proven to be effective in raising people's knowledge and awareness for health and sanitation issues, such acquired knowledge was found to disappear relatively quickly after the project completion. As for cost-effectiveness, as it was already known from previous studies, the provision of deworming drug was highly cost-effective compared to the provision of health education. Nonetheless, such results also depend on the way in which health education is delivered, and it should not be all together regarded as something unnecessary. There is yet a need for discerning appropriate methods of delivering health education in order to achieve sustainable health improvement.

利用孟加拉国农村地区一个随机对照保健干预项目的现有数据，在项目周期内和项目完成后立即看到了提供驱虫药物的效果。关于健康教育的影响，虽然事实证明，健康教育在提高人们对健康和卫生问题的知识和认识方面是有效的，但人们发现，在项目完成后，这种获得的知识消失得相对较快。至于成本效益方面，从以往的研究已得知，提供驱虫药物的成本效益较提供健康教育为高。然而，这些结果也取决于提供健康教育的方式，不应将其视为不必要的。还需要找出提供健康教育的适当方法，以实现可持续的健康改善。
