  abstract = {<div>The&nbsp;American Leprosy Missions has developed and published (Greenville, S.C., August 25, 2015) a training guide to address health issues common to many Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and other health conditions. <u>Ten Steps: A guide for health promotion and empowerment of people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases</u> was created with the help of a world-renowned group of experts across the disability and NTD communities. Since basic care at the community level is strikingly similar across diseases, this guide facilitates and promotes integrated, cross-cutting approaches to a range of issues including suspecting disease, healthy eating, personal cleanliness, eye care, protective footwear and care of the skin and nails, edema, movement limitations, wounds and scars.</div>

<p>The complete Ten Steps package contains three sets of materials: a training guide, a summary card with key messages and actions, and a manager’s executive summary. Ten Steps: A guide for health promotion and empowerment of people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases, the Ten Steps Executive Summary and Ten Steps Summary Card are available to download for free at <a href="http://www.leprosy.org/ten-steps">www.leprosy.org/ten-steps</a>.</p>
