Abstract

Objective To understand the status of health knowledge and behaviors on clonorchiasis sinensis of urban residents in Yanqing District of Beijing City, China, so as to provide the targeted suggestions for further health education. Methods The communities/streets were selected as the investigation sites by using the stratified randomly sampling method. A total of 283 residents were randomly selected and investigated with the structural questionnaire designed by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The fecal samples were collected and the eggs of Clonorchis sinensis were detected with Kato-Katz technique. Results All of the questionnaires were valid. The awareness rate about clonorchiasis was 25.09%. The rates of knowing clonorchiasis infection route, harm and prevention measures were 10.60%, 9.89% and 10.60% respectively. Totally 7.07% of the residents had the habits of eating raw or undercooked fresh water fish, and 2.47% of the residents had the behavior of eating sashimi. C. sinensis eggs were not found among the research objects. Conclusions The awareness rate about clonorchiasis is low among urban residents in Yanqing District. The focus of the future work is to extensively carry out the health education about clonorchiasis prevention and control and take relevant interventions.
