Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the environmental and health literacy of medical students in minority areas of Gansu province, so as to provide scientific basis for improving the environmental and health literacy of this population. Methods Questionnaire was designed based on the "core questions of citizen environmental and health literacy assessment" in the "technical guide for citizen environmental and health literacy assessment(trial)" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China. Stratified cluster random sampling was used to select 1 620 medical students in the minority areas of Gansu Province for questionnaire survey. Results The proportion of medical students with environmental and health literacy in minority areas of Gansu Province was only 3.9%. In the first level classification literacy, the basic skills literacy level was the highest(39.0%), and the basic knowledge literacy level was the lowest(1.3%). Among the sub-categories, the cognitive skills were the highest(83.9%), and the scientific knowledge was the lowest(1.3%). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in owning rates of environmental and health literacy among medical students of different grades and nationalities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ethnicity, grade, and age were influencing factors of environmental and health literacy. Conclusions The environmental and health literacy level of medical students in minority areas of Gansu Province is very low, especially in terms of basic knowledge. Environmental and health education should carry out in these schools to improve students' environmental health literacy.
