The Snakes and Ladders board game was modified so that it contained information on taeniasis. A quantitative approach was used to evaluate if elementary school children were able to answer correctly more questions about Taenia saginata and Taenia solium transmission and control after playing the game compared to before playing the game. In total, 78 children (9-12 years of age) from Dukuh elementary school in Karangasem District, Bali, Indonesia, were evaluated. The children were asked to complete a pre- and post-test assessment before and after playing the game a single time. Overall proportion of correct answers was 40.3% before playing the game and 58.8% after playing the game. There was a greater proportion of correct answers for questions pertaining to the transmission route for T. saginata (p < 0.001) and T. solium (p < 0.001), human infection type with T. solium (p = 0.035) and T. saginata (p < 0.001), and animal infection type with T. solium or T. saginata (p < 0.001) after playing the game compared to before playing the game. However, there was no significant difference for any question for the youngest grade level. Use of this popular board game appears to be a promising tool for teaching older (10 years of age and above) children about taeniasis in endemic areas.
蛇梯棋游戏经过改编，其中包含了带绦虫病相关信息。采用定量方法评估了巴厘岛卡朗阿森区杜克小学的 78 名 9-12 岁儿童在玩游戏前后是否能够正确回答更多有关牛带绦虫和猪带绦虫传播和控制的问题。这些儿童在玩游戏前后分别接受了一次预测试和后测试。玩游戏前的正确答案比例为 40.3%，玩游戏后的正确答案比例为 58.8%。玩游戏后，有关牛带绦虫传播途径（p<0.001）和猪带绦虫传播途径（p<0.001）、猪带绦虫人类感染类型（p=0.035）和牛带绦虫人类感染类型（p<0.001）以及猪带绦虫或牛带绦虫动物感染类型（p<0.001）的问题，正确答案比例更高。然而，对于最年轻的年级，任何问题的答案都没有显著差异。在流行的棋盘游戏中加入带绦虫病相关内容，似乎是一种有前途的工具，可以帮助流行地区的大龄（10 岁及以上）儿童了解带绦虫病。
