  abstract = {{A} study aimed at determining individual factors associated with participation in community treatment with ivermectin was conducted in a village hyperendemic for onchocerciasis in northern {C}ameroon. {T}he respective influences of sex, age, place of residence, distance between the compound and the dosing point, compound size, and participation in treatment by authoritative individuals in the compound was evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. {P}articipation in treatment was closely associated with the attitude of the compound heads. {P}articipation of compound heads in treatment increased as the household size increased, and as the distance to the distribution point diminished. {T}his may be explained by the fact that getting information on health programmes is easier in large households whose members are involved in various social activities, and in compounds located near the village centre. {S}taff involved in health education should take this issue into account, and try to ensure circulation of information particularly to those living in small or remote compounds.
