to characterize printed educational materials about schistosomiasis produced at federal, state and municipal levels in Brazil.
the educational materials were characterized considering the following categories: 'format', 'parasite and intermediate host', 'definitive host (ill)' and 'disease'.
60 materials were assessed, three had no information about risk activities and 41 indicated more than one popular name for the disease, thus allowing greater reach among the target audience in diverse endemic areas; the biological cycle was missing or incorrect in 53 materials; the intermediate host (snail) was incorrectly illustrated, with use of stereotyped images in 39 and no image in one material; diagnosis was mentioned in 36 materials.
the printed educational materials assessed had incorrect content which may compromise health education efforts; little attention was paid to schistosomiasis diagnosis.
对巴西联邦、州和市级制作的关于血吸虫病的印刷教育材料进行特征描述。
从以下类别对教育材料进行特征描述：“形式”、“寄生虫和中间宿主”、“终宿主（患病情况）”和“疾病”。
共评估了60份材料，3份未提及风险活动信息，41份指出该疾病有不止一个俗名，从而能够在不同流行地区的目标受众中获得更广泛的传播；53份材料中生物循环信息缺失或有误；39份材料对中间宿主（蜗牛）的图示错误，使用了刻板印象的图像，1份材料没有图像；36份材料提到了诊断。
所评估的印刷教育材料内容有误，可能会影响健康教育工作；对血吸虫病诊断的关注较少。
