group. Based on data from the Central Sulawesi Provincial Health Office on the prevalence of schistosomiasis

cases, it shows that schistosomiasis cases continue to increase from year to year to above the WHO standard

of 1%. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of schistosomiasis control program performance

on the incidence of schistosomiasis in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research was an

observational study with cross sectional design. The sample size was 122 people. The results showed that the

factors that influenced the incidence of schistosomiasis were the IEC of Officers while the treatment program

schistosomiasis control programs include making regular outreach programs where puskesmas staff provide

IEC about schistosomiasis in the community. Providing space for puskesmas to make special programs

related to the control of schistosomiasis which so far have been centralized in the Sigi District Health Office.
