Abstract

What is already known about this topic?Previous surveys have mainly focused on how well residents and primary school students have understood the core knowledge of echinococcosis control and are limited in terms of the comprehensiveness of the knowledge category and respondents.What is added by this report?There were some shortcomings in related knowledge of echinococcosis among students, which showed a tendency to know methods but not the rationale. The differences among regions indicated a lack of a unified system for training educators and allocating comprehensive educational material.What are the implications for public health practices?The results of this study provide evidence to potentially help improve health education programs in the new phase of echinococcosis prevention and control in China.
