Knowledge, attitudes, and practices status among caregivers of infants and toddlers towards hand, foot and mouth disease: a cross-sectional study
The primary caregivers generally exhibit good levels of knowledge and practices regarding HFMD, but the level of attitude is relatively low. Health promotion activities should be strengthened for caregivers who are elderly or have lower education levels, as well as for families with fewer permanent residents or those living in sub-central urban areas.
