This report is a comprehensive review of the literature concerning what is known about sociocultural and socioenvironmental aspects of trachoma transmission and control. A wide range of topics is discussed including historical, empirical, and operational factors. Gaps in the literature are identified and supplemented by a summary of findings resulting from interviews with international trachoma experts. Field experiences of experts are presented and cover issues rarely reviewed in published studies. Recommendations for further research are provided.
