Abstract
Objective: To explore the cognitive status and influencing factors of foodborne parasitic diseases. Methods: 2301 residents were selected as samples, and CDC staff conducted questionnaire surveys on them and statistically analyzed the survey results. Results: 2285 valid questionnaires were collected, and the awareness rate of residents’ knowledge about foodborne parasitic diseases ranged from 21.3% to 59.4%. The results of the multi-factor regression analysis showed that factors influencing the awareness of foodborne parasitic diseases include education level, relatives working in medical institutions, attention to news related to food safety, history of food poisoning, satisfaction with food hygiene, degree of concern about one’s health, whether received health education on parasitic diseases and whether they actively searched for knowledge on parasitic diseases (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The residents surveyed in this study have poor awareness of foodborne parasitic diseases. Health education needs to be carried out based on the influence of relevant factors, and prevention and control work should be strengthened.
