Abstract:
Objective:To observe and evaluate the effect of health education on drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province, so as to provide basis for further formulating health education strategies.Methods:From April 2019 to April 2020, according to the historical prevalence of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province, 3 townships (towns) were selected to carry out the health education activities on drinking brick-tea type fluorosis for students of grade 4 - 6, village doctors, adults and monks in each township (town). We carried out a one-year publicity on the prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis, distributed health education materials and organized health education activities. Before and after the intervention, we conducted a questionnaire survey on health education among the target population (grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks), to evaluate the awareness rate and behavior formation rate of fluorosis prevention and control, and to evaluate the intervention effect.Results:A total of 86 students of grade 4 - 6, 40 village doctors, 42 adults and 20 monks were investigated, after the intervention, the awareness rates of prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks were 87.98% (227/258), 96.67% (116/120), 81.75% (103/126), 83.33% (50/60), respectively, which were significantly higher than those before the intervention [38.38% (76/198), 83.33% (100/120), 15.45% (19/123), 28.89% (13/45), P < 0.05]. After the intervention, the behavior formation rates of prevention and treatment of the drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks were 74.42% (128/172), 72.50% (58/80), 52.38% (44/84), 60.00% (24/40), respectively, which were significantly higher than those before the intervention [14.39% (19/132), 38.75% (31/80), 3.66% (3/82), 0(0/28), P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The comprehensive intervention measures based on health education can significantly improve the knowledge of local residents, and improve their bad drinking habits of drinking tea, which is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis.
