Trachoma in remote Indigenous Australia: a review and public health perspective.

CONCLUSIONS: The locally supported construction of pools in remote Indigenous communities may contribute to a decline in trachoma. A prospective, controlled trial is needed to test this hypothesis in endemic communities. IMPLICATIONS: If validated by a well-designed study, pool construction may provide a much sought-after practical government strategy to combat trachoma in remote Indigenous communities.
