dcterms.abstractIntroduction: Foodborne Zoonotic Trematode Infections (FZTi) are neglected tropical diseases of public health concern in Vietnam. The transmission of FZTi is linked to human behavior patterns. The aim was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding FZTi among local people. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a mixed method, which included a baseline survey and in-depth interviews. 375 participants were interviewed face-to-face in the survey, and 27 participants had the in-depth interviews. Results: The results showed that 36.3% passed the knowledge assessment, 86.7% passed the attitude assessment, and 24% passed the practical assessment. There were differences in average knowledge scores among gender (men higher than women, p=0.006), ethnicities (Kinh higher than Dao and Tay, p<0.001), and educational level (higher education, higher knowledge score, p<0.001). There were differences in the frequency of eating raw fish between men and women (men higher than women, p<0.001) with the average practice score between men and women (women higher than men, p=0.028). Eating raw fish and/or undercooked fish, raw vegetables, and drinking untreated water from Thac Ba lake in Yen Bai province were identified as FZTi risk behaviors. The occurrence of these risky habits can be explained by the lack of knowledge on FZTi, poor economic conditions and typical social features of local people. Conclusion: The current knowledge of local people in regard to safe eating practices is poor. They still perform unsafe practices, which lead to infection with FZTi; therefore, an integrated control of FZTi is essential.en
