Symptoms
Cholera is an extremely virulent disease that can cause severe acute watery diarrhoea. It takes between 12 hours and 5 days for a person to show symptoms after ingesting contaminated food or water (2). Cholera affects both children and adults and can kill within hours if untreated. Most people infected with V. choleraedo not develop any symptoms, a...
History
During the 19th century, cholera spread across the world from its original reservoir in the Ganges delta in India. Six subsequent pandemics killed millions of people across all continents. The current (seventh) pandemic started in South Asia in 1961, reached Africa in 1971 and the Americas in 1991. Cholera is now endemic in many countries.
Vibrio cholerae Strains
There are many serogroups of V. cholerae, but only two – O1 and O139 – cause outbreaks. V. cholerae O1 has caused all recent outbreaks. V. choleraeO139 – first identified in Bangladesh in 1992 – caused outbreaks in the past, but recently has only been identified in sporadic cases. It has never been identified outside Asia. There is no difference in...
Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Disease Burden
Cholera can be endemic or epidemic. A cholera-endemic area is an area where confirmed cholera cases were detected during the last 3 years with evidence of local transmission (meaning the cases are not imported from elsewhere). A cholera outbreak/epidemic can occur in both endemic countries and in countries where cholera does not regularly occur. In...
Prevention and Control
A multifaceted approach is key to control cholera, and to reduce deaths. A combination of surveillance, water, sanitation and hygiene, social mobilisation, treatment, and oral cholera vaccines are used.
Surveillance
Cholera surveillance should be part of an integrated disease surveillance system that includes feedback at the local level and information-sharing at the global level. Cholera cases are detected based on clinical suspicion in patients who present with severe acute watery diarrhoea. The suspicion is then confirmed by identifying V. choleraein stool ...
Water and Sanitation Interventions
The long-term solution for cholera control lies in economic development and universal access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. Actions targeting environmental conditions include the implementation of adapted long-term sustainableWASH solutions to ensure use of safe water, basic sanitation and good hygiene practices in cholera hotspots...
Treatment
Cholera is an easily treatable disease. The majority of people can be treated successfully through prompt administration of oral rehydration solution (ORS). The WHO/UNICEF ORS standard sachet is dissolved in 1 litre (L) of clean water. Adult patients may require up to 6 L of ORS to treat moderate dehydration on the first day. Severely dehydrated pa...
Community Engagement
Community Engagement means that people and communities are part of the process of developing and implementing programmes. Local culture practices and beliefs are central to promoting actions such as the adoption of protectivehygiene measures such as handwashing with soap, safe preparation and storage of food and safe disposal of the faeces of child...

This manual is intended as a tool for community health workers (CHWs) to use to help their communities
prevent cholera illnesses and deaths. The manual consists of 13 modules with information about community
mobilization, cholera, oral rehydration solution, safe drinking water preparation and storage, handwashing,
sanitation, food preparation, handling a death that occurs at home, and stigma associated with cholera. The modules can be used in any combination that you feel will best help prevent cholera in your community, and
the training can be given in one-on-one or in group sessions.More detailed training instructions for these modules can be found in the Guide for Cholera Training Modules
How to prepare for training:
Ask permission to talk with your community.Arrange a meeting space that includes or is near a functional
water source or that has safe water nearby. Gather any necessary materials and supplies before you start your education session.(A list of supplies can be found at the beginning of each module and below.) Show appreciation for participation of community members.
Problem solve with community members when needed.
Supplies needed for training:
Pictures, ipchart, or a list of places where people can get cholera. Handwashing - Safe water, a basin or container, soap (or sand or
ash, if no soap is available), clean towel (if available).ORS sachets - Safe water, soap (for handwashing), ORS sachets, clean 1-liter (or ¼-gallon) container lled with safe water for mixing of ORS, clean utensil for stirring, clean cup.
Aquatabs® - Strip of Aquatabs®, clean container or bucket lled with water (amount of water depends on strength of tablets you have), lid for container, clean utensil for stirring solution.WaterGuard - 1 bottle of WaterGuard, clean 20-liter (or 5 gallon) container lled with water, lid for container, clean utensil for stirring solution.
PuR - PuR® sachets, water, clean 10-liter (or 2½- gallon) container, clean cloth for ltering, scissors or knife to open sachet, clean utensil for stirring solution.One way to involve your community in your cholera prevention activities is to host a community meeting and
model the behaviors you want them to do. Hosting a community meeting is a way for you as a community health worker to educate others about positive behaviors that will prevent the spread of cholera. You can also
share these messages with community members in their homes and villages. Remember to ask community members to share the education you provide them with their families and others in the community.Cholera Prevention and Control

What is cholera disease?
Cholera disease causes a lot of watery diarrhea and vomiting. Cholera diarrhea can look like cloudy rice water . Cholera can cause death from dehydration (the loss of water and salts from the body) within hours if not treated.How is cholera spread?
Cholera germs are found in the feces (poop) of infected people. Cholera is spread when feces (poop) from an infected person gets into the water people drink or the food people eat. Cholera is not likely to spread directly from one person to another.Protect yourself and your family from
cholera and other diarrheal diseases:Drink and use safe water.
Safe water is water that is bottled with an unbroken seal, has been boiled, or has been treated with a chlorine product. Wash hands often with soap and safe water. If no soap is available, scrub hands often with ash or sand and rinse with safe water. Use latrines or bury your feces (poop), do not defecate in any body of water. Cook food well (especially seafood), eat it hot, keep it covered, and peel fruits and vegetables. Clean up safely in the kitchen and in places where your family bathes and washes clothes.What to do if you or your family are ill
with diarrhea: If you have oral rehydration solution (ORS), start taking it now; it can save your life. Go immediately to the nearest health facility, cholera treatment center, or community health worker, if you can. Continue to drink ORS at home and while you travel to get treatment. Continue to breastfeed your baby if they have watery diarrhea, even when traveling to get treatment.Cholera Prevention and Control

Protect Yourself from Cholera: Key Messages
1) Drink and use safe water.*
Bottled water with unbroken seals and canned/bottled carbonated beverages are safe to drink and use. Use safe water to brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, and to make ice.Clean food preparation areas and kitchenware with soap and safe water and let dry completely before reuse.
Piped water sources, drinks sold in cups or bags, or ice may not be safe and should be boiled or treated with chlorine.To be sure water is safe to drink and use:
Boil it or treat it with a chlorine product or household bleach. If boiling, bring your water to a complete boil for at least 1 minute.To treat your water with chlorine, use one of the locally available treatment products such as Aquatabs®,
WaterGuard, or PuR® and follow the instructions.If a chlorine treatment product is not available, you can treat your water with household bleach. Add 8 drops of
household bleach for every 1 gallon of water (or 2 drops of household bleach for every 1 liter of water) and wait
30 minutes before drinking.
Always store your treated water in a clean, covered container.2) Wash your hands often with soap and safe water.*
Before you eat or prepare food.

After cleaning your child"s bottom.
After taking care of someone ill with diarrhea.
* If no soap is available, scrub hands often with ash or sand and rinse with safe water.3) Use latrines or bury your feces (poop); do not defecate in any body of water.
Use latrines or other sanitation systems, like chemical toilets, to dispose of feces. Wash hands with soap and safe water after defecating. Clean latrines and surfaces contaminated with feces using a solution of 1 part household bleach to 9 parts water. What if I don't have a latrine or chemical toilet? Defecate at least 30 meters away from any body of water and then bury your feces.Dispose of plastic bags containing feces in latrines, at collection points if available, or bury it in the ground.
Do not put plastic bags in chemical toilets.
Dig new latrines or temporary pit toilets at least a half-meter deep and at least 30 meters away from any
body of water.4) Cook food well, keep it covered, eat it hot, and peel fruits and vegetables.*

Module 1: Community Mobilization
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Introduction and purpose
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted persons for promoting health messages. CHWs are also key when
mobilizing the community against cholera. CHWs are skilled in one-on-one and group sessions in the community.
Engaging the community through one-on-one and group sessions requires strong interpersonal communication
skills. The following module provides guidelines for effective interpersonal communication and community
mobilization activities.Community mobilization
Community mobilization is a process for community members to come together and take action on a social
problem. The goal of community mobilization during a cholera outbreak is to have community members take
action and adopt new behaviors to prevent cholera illness and deaths. Community mobilization is about building
relationships, sharing information, and problem solving with community members to stop cholera.The role of the CHW in community mobilization CHWs are key people in the community mobilization process because they can help create settings in which
people are empowered to address their health needs and those of other community members. The role of the
CHW is to 1) provide correct information; 2) motivate the adoption of new protective behaviors; 3) provide supplies
when available; and 4) encourage life-saving health-seeking behaviors. It is important for the CHW to:
Develop an ongoing dialogue among community members about cholera. Bring people together to decide on the actions they need to take in their community. Promote cholera prevention, control, and health-seeking behaviors. Work with people to practice new skills for cholera prevention.Link community members to health services.
Be positive and supportive of cholera sufferers and their families. Facilitate discussion and decision-making on how to help others.Interpersonal communication
Motivating the community to adopt positive behaviors requires the CHW to have one-on-one and small group
education sessions. CHW interactions with the community are critical to the adoption of positive health behaviors
to prevent cholera. CHWs can help calm the fear that understandable accompanies cholera by providing factual
information and supporting prevention strategies and health seeking behaviors to community members.Module 1: Community Mobilization
CS218556
v2.0 How you talk with the community is as important what you have to share with them. Here are some general tips to consider when talking with your community: When working with the community, start the discussion by asking people what they know or what they are currently doing in their homes to protect their families and prevent cholera. Inuencing people to adopt safe water, sanitation, and hygiene behaviors requires a two-way conversation and problem solving discussions. Lecturing and scolding people does not cause them to adopt new behaviors. Praise knowledge and positive new behaviors people have adopted. After praising positive changes, focus discussions on what people don"t know. Correct misinformation and myths. Find out where people are facing barriers in trying to adopt the new behaviors and engage in an open discussion. Problem solve with community members. Community members need to be treated with respect. Always remember to show gratitude for their participation and to avoid arguing.CHW community mobilization activities
Working through social networks is important for community mobilization. Community members trust messages
delivered through people they know. CHWs should work with trusted teachers, informal leaders, parents, traditional
healers and other community partners to deliver messages and organize activities. Conversations can occur in
small group settings or one-on-one and should include activities along with information. Information alone does
not change behavior. People need to see demonstrations and practice new behaviors. Giving people a chance to
practice a behavior during an educational session supports their condence to do it at home. Ask people to share
what they learn with their friends and families. CHW encounters with the community are good for:Providing information.
Delivering yers, posters, leaets and other items that can be given to the community. Prompting people to take action to prevent cholera illness and cholera deaths. Increasing peoples" condence and skills in performing new behaviors.Overcoming barriers to protective behaviors.
Supporting positive behavior changes that people have already taken. Encouraging community members to become distributors of cholera prevention information.The chart below provides examples of settings, important topics to cover, and strategies for CHWs to use when
mobilizing community members to prevent cholera illness and death. It is important for CHWs to work across
settings to have a broad reach in the community. CHWs should be positive and listen to community concerns,
problem solve, and avoid simply lecturing. CHWs should use dierent strategies to support behavior change. You
should be sure to share positive, true stories about people using ORS, using water treatment products, overcoming
barriers to sanitation problems, and seeking treatment.Module 1: Community Mobilization
