Abstract

The abstract of the survey on knowledge and awareness about typhoid fever in Bangladesh provides an overview of the study's purpose, methods, and findings. The study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and awareness of typhoid fever among Bangladeshi residents and to identify factors influencing their knowledge and awareness. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional survey design, and data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 400 respondents. The results showed that a majority of the respondents had heard of typhoid fever, but their knowledge about the disease was limited. Many respondents were not aware of the causes, symptoms, and preventive measures for typhoid fever. Education level, occupation, and income were identified as significant factors influencing knowledge and awareness about the disease. The study recommends the need for targeted educational programs and awareness campaigns to increase knowledge and awareness of typhoid fever in Bangladesh.
