To assess the awareness and associated factors of wild mushroom poisoning among students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a scientific foundation for wild mushroom poisoning prevention and control among students.
By a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method, 1 162 students from Guizhou Province were selected in May 2024. The questionnaire survey was administered to evaluate knowledge regarding wild mushroom poisoning. Data were analyzed employing the χ2 test and Logistic regression model.
Among the nine questions assessing awareness of wild mushroom poisoning, only three had the awareness rate exceeding 70%. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that students who "actively learn about the prevention of wild mushroom poisoning" (OR=0.48, 95%CI=0.26-0.92) and "spread knowledge about wild mushroom poisoning to others" (OR=0.47, 95%CI=0.33-0.69) scored higher on the wild mushroom poisoning knowledge questions (P < 0.05). Conversely, students with a habit of consuming wild mushrooms (OR=1.52, 95%CI=1.15-2.02) scored lower (P < 0.05). 42.3% of the students suggested that scientific dissemination and publicity about wild mushrooms should be intensified.
The awareness rate of wild mushroom poisoning knowledge among students in Guizhou Province requires further attention. Comprehensive knowledge should be disseminated systematically through various channels to further improve students' awareness of the prevention and control of wild mushroom poisoning.
