In 2000, Michael Kremer published a journal article that stated that deworming children in Kenya not only improves their health but also increases school participation. However, there is no effect on academic test scores or grades.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Miguel |first1=Edward |last2=Kremer |first2=Michael |title=Child Health and Education: The Primary school deworming project in Kenya |date=November 2000 |pages=1–51 |citeseerx=10.1.1.199.1337 |url=https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=9AA4241CD22270968FC4FD922A956E6B?doi=10.1.1.199.1337&rep=rep1&type=pdf |access-date=18 October 2023}}</ref> However, reanalysis of the data by ] in 2015 found that the original paper had calculation errors and deworming may not improve school participation.
