| Abstract |
This study aimed to investigate health literacy associated with liver fluke prevention and control among students in the risk areas. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 20 schools from 20 provinces in northeast Thailand, between May to June 2017. Students were selected by cluster random sampling and they completed the constructive questionnaires. The association between health literacy and liver fluke prevention and control was analyzed by using multiple logistic regressions. Total of 1100 students was included. The majority was females (75.82%). Students need to modify practice level regarding liver fluke prevention and control (84.09%). Health literacy in the highest level were significantly associated with good practice, included cognitive skills (ORadj = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.15-3.86, p = 0.026), communication skills (ORadj = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.58-4.40, p<0.001) and media literacy skills (ORadj = 1.78; 95%CI: 1.12-2.83; p-value = 0.030). In conclusion, health literacy was used as desirable strategy for informing lower practice regarding liver fluke prevention and control among secondary school students in northeastern, Thailand. This study indicates that behavior intervention is urgent needed, especially cognitive skills, communication skills, and media literacy skills. |
