Effects of Performing the Projects of Water and Environmental Sanitation on Environmental Sanitation in Countryside

目的 了解实施水与环境卫生(WES)项目对农村环境卫生的影响。方法 在实施WES项目的县选择8个改厕村和1个未改厕(对照)村调查户厕内苍蝇密度、蛆密度和臭度,同时按照统一调查表调查农民卫生知识、行为、改厕满意度。结果 改厕户的卫生厕所苍蝇密度、蛆密度和臭度均低于未改厕户的旧式厕所,差异均有显著性(P<0.05)。实施WES项目的村居民卫生知识水平、卫生行为和习惯均优于未开展WES项目的村。改厕户居民对卫生厕所的满意度高达94.8％。结论 实施WES项目提高了农村环境卫生整体水平。
