ABSTRACT
A graduated pole for height measurement, estimating the number of praziquantel tablets needed for treatment, was field-tested on 1289 children in Zanzibar. A bathroom-type scale performed better than the dose pole in delivering the optimal dose (40-60 mg/kg) and the 2 methods performed similarly in delivering a dose considered appropriate (30-60 mg/kg).
