Purpose: The goal of this study was to analyze the prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infection in people living
within 5 km of the Youngsan River basin, to develop an educational program to prevent the infection, and to examine the effects of the educational program.
Methods: This study employed a one group pretest-posttest design, the subjects were 384. This study was conducted from November 20, 2008 to June 16, 2009. The results were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program.
Results: Of the residents, 5.7% were infected with Clonorchis sinensis and the knowledge level about the prevention of Clonorchis sinensis was improved significantly from 9.75±5.12 points before the education to 15.05±2.43 points after the education. One of the important effects was that the willingness to eat raw fresh-water fish was reduced after the education.
