摘要

这项研究的目的是调查社区对食用受黄曲霉毒素感染的农产品的危险的认识、态度和做法。研究环境设在肯尼亚东部生态区的两个农村县。方法采用半结构化问卷,在家庭层面上面对面地对受访者进行调查。收集数据并通过kobo工具包输入智能手机,确定每个家庭的地理位置。共有718个家庭提供了关于户主的教育程度、收入、黄曲霉毒素知识、处理农场收获农产品的做法以及他们对任何变质农产品管理的态度的信息。结果显示,只有37%的受访者知道黄曲霉毒素是什么。只有26%的受访者能够通过颜色识别受黄曲霉毒素污染的谷物。实际上,56%的人报告说,他们把变质或腐烂的谷物喂给家畜和鸟类。研究的结论是,研究区的农村小农没有被充分告知,黄曲霉毒素污染的粮食直接从变质的粮食或间接通过动物产品食用可能严重导致疾病、中毒或死亡。关键词:营养不良,成人,吸收不良

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on Consumption of Contaminated Farm Produce by Aflatoxin in the Counties of Meru and Tharaka Nithi, Eastern Region of Kenya
The objective of the study was to examine knowledge, attitude and practices of the community regarding the dangers of consuming farm products infested by aflatoxin. The study setting was in two rural counties in the eastern ecologic zone of Kenya. Methods employed the use of a semi-structured questionnaire which was presented face to face to respondents at household level. Data were collected and entered via kobo tool kit into smartphones, identifying the geo-position of each household. A total of 718 households respondents provided information on the education level of heads of households, income, knowledge on aflatoxin, practices on handling farm harvested produce, and their attitude towards management of any spoilt produce. Results showed that only 37% of respondents knew what aflatoxin is. Only 26% of the respondents could identify aflatoxin-contaminated grain by colour. In practice, 56% reported that they fed the spoilt or rotting grain to their domestic animals and birds. The study conclusion was that the rural small-scale farmers in the study zones were not well informed that aflatoxin-contaminated grain consumed directly from spoilt grain or indirectly via animal products could gravely cause illness, poisoning or death. Keywords : Malnutrition, Adults, Malabsorption
