Abstract: Objective To understand the situation of prevention and control knowledge of echinococcosis in students in Qin?ghai Province,so as to provide an evidence for effective prevention and control of echinococcosis. Methods The students of Grade Four or above were randomly selected with the multi?stage stratified cluster sampling method and investigated with the questionnaire about echinococcosis in Qinghai Province. Results Totally 23 600 students were selected and surveyed,with the pass rate of 66.0%(15 566 cases). The pass rates of the male and female students were 65.1%(7 947 cases)and 66.9%(7 619 cases)respectively,and the difference was significant(χ2=8.454,P<0.01). The difference of pass rates among different dis?tricts of Qinghai Province was statistically significant(χ2=3 848.619,P<0.01). Conclusion The general aware rate of echino?coccosis knowledge in students is not high in Qinghai Province,and therefore,it is necessary to enhance the health education, especially for students in pasturing areas.
