T.B. chapter 1 describes the pre-test to be performed before the distribution as it will indicate whether the full treatment (pre-treatment + disinfection) is required and if both chemical consumables must be distributed.
To ensure appropriation of the kit and use of treatment it is essential to combine distribution and demonstration and use sensitisation tools. Follow the distribution procedure described in T.B. chapter 4.
