Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem and China is one of the 22 countries with a high TB burden. The characteristics of the epidemic of TB in China include a high rate of infection, high prevalence, serious drug resistance, and low rate of decline and the TB epidemic in Guizhou Province is more serious than in other parts of the country. We conducted a survey during September and October 2019 to investigate public awareness of core TB information.
A multi-stage, stratified random sampling method was used to survey individuals at 18 investigation sites on their awareness of core information related to TB. SPSS22.0 software was used to analyze data and P<0.05 was considered statistically different.
Of the 10,563 questionnaires collected, the total awareness rate of TB, the awareness rates of transmission, symptoms, treatment (doctor visit way), preferential policies, and prognosis of TB were 62.5% (95% CI: 0.6169-0.6329), 62.8% (95% CI: 0.6190-0.6374), 75.2% (95% CI: 0.7434-0.7599), 66.4% (95% CI: 0.6553-0.6733), 39.1% (95% CI: 0.3819-0.4005), 61.2% (95% CI: 0.6029-0.6215) respectively. The personal awareness qualified rate was 45.0% (95% CI: 0.4404-0.4594) and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education was the main factor associated with awareness of TB.
Public awareness of the core information about TB is low in Guizhou Province. Intensive education about TB should be carried out.
结核病（TB）是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，中国是 22 个结核病高负担国家之一。中国结核病疫情的特点包括感染率高、患病率高、耐药严重、下降率低，贵州省的结核病疫情比全国其他地区更为严重。我们在 2019 年 9 月至 10 月期间进行了一项调查，以了解公众对结核病核心信息的认识。
采用多阶段、分层随机抽样的方法，对 18 个调查点的个体进行了结核病核心信息知晓情况的调查。采用 SPSS22.0 软件进行数据分析，P<0.05 为差异有统计学意义。
共收集到 10563 份问卷，结核病总知晓率、传播途径知晓率、症状知晓率、治疗（就诊途径）知晓率、优惠政策知晓率、预后知晓率分别为 62.5%（95%CI：0.6169-0.6329）、62.8%（95%CI：0.6190-0.6374）、75.2%（95%CI：0.7434-0.7599）、66.4%（95%CI：0.6553-0.6733）、39.1%（95%CI：0.3819-0.4005）、61.2%（95%CI：0.6029-0.6215）。个人知晓合格率为 45.0%（95%CI：0.4404-0.4594），多因素 logistic 回归分析显示，教育是影响结核病知晓的主要因素。
贵州省公众对结核病核心信息的知晓率较低，应加强结核病健康教育。
