In the Philippines, annual mass treatment of Praziquantel is one of the five-pronged key interventions of Schistosomiasis Control Program of DOH to combat against Schistosomiasis. However, despite the effort of the Schistosomiasis Control Committee of municipality of Aurora to conduct the annual mass treatment in its endemic barangays, its overall compliance rate still did not achieve the goal of DOH which is eighty five (85%) coverage of mass treatment, majority of the people still hesitate to comply with the annual mass treatment. In line with this, the researcher saw the need to educate the people about Schistosomiasis and disseminate the information about Schistosomiasis Control Program of DOH. This research aims to determine if film viewing with interactive discussion on Schistosomiasis with pre-treatment snacks has an effect in the compliance to mass treatment among non-compliant residents of endemic barangays of the municipality of Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur. The researcher included three (3) endemic barangays of municipality of Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur which are endemic for Schistosomiasis. There were a total of one hundred six (106) respondents. One hundred three (103) out of one hundred six (106) respondents took the medication after intervention and three percent (3%) did not comply, achieving a ninety seven percent (97%) accomplishment rate. This shows that film viewing with interactive discussion on Schistosomiasis with pre-treatment snack before mass treatment has an effect on the compliance of non-compliant residents of endemic barangays in municipality of Aurora, Zamboanga del sur.
