Factors that showed significantly associated with raw fish consumption included health literacy (HL) at the low and moderate level (ORadj = 6.86; 95%CI: 4.18-11.27) and (ORadj = 1.61; 95%CI: 1.03-2.50), feeding dogs and cats with raw fish (ORadj = 4.33; 95%CI: 2.94-6.38), farmer (ORadj = 1.98; 95%CI: 1.27-3.08), male (ORadj = 1.90; 95%CI: 1.40-2.59), protection motivation theory (PMT) on raw fish consumption at the low level (ORadj = 1.80; 95%CI: 1.13-4.31), lower and primary education (ORadj = 1.49; 95%CI: 1.07-2.07), monthly family incomes below 10,000 baht (ORadj = 1.40; 95%CI: 1.13 - 4.26).
