Results. Diarrhea was the most prevalent problem (79.9%), especially for the younger volunteers. Skin and dental problems
were next most prevalent. More than one in six had experienced accidents and nearly one-fourth acts of aggression (including
verbal) or violence. Most (87.5%) lived in regions with mosquito-borne diseases, 11.6% of these had smear positive malaria.
Of all volunteers, 11.0% had placed themselves at risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Unprotected sexual
intercourse (45.0%) and split condoms (30.0%) were the main sexual health risk factors. Just over one-fourth of volunteers
reported ongoing medical/psychological problems on return, the most common being diarrhea (25.0%), skin disease (15.4%),
gynecological problems (13.5%), and injuries (9.6%).
