Objectives To investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of hepatitis E among Anlu residents and to identify the influencing factors.Methods A stratified random sampling method was used and 1 840 Anlu residents were recruited between March 2019 and September 2019. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors by SPSS 22.0 software.Results The overall awareness rate of residents was 36.32%. There were statistically significant differences in age, occupation category and education (P<0.05). Qualification rate of awareness increased with age until age 40, but not with age after 40. Individuals occupationally exposed to swines (swine breeders, sales staff, slaughterers) had the lowest rates. Education level was positively associated with the qualification rate of awareness. The overall positive attitude rate was 53.89%. The overall healthy behavior rate was 82.95%.Conclusions The overall knowledge and awareness of hepatitis E among Anlu residents is low, especially individuals who have been occupationally exposed to swines. Health education and promotion programs are necessary.
