Deworming exercises are being included as part of various interventional programs to reduce the disease burden. However, the success or failure of such activities in terms of household caregivers\u2019 knowledge and practice of deworming is not usually adequately evaluated, thus this study. This was a cross\u2010sectional descriptive study carried out in the rural community of Enugu State, Nigeria. Pretested semi\u2010structured interviewer\u2010administered questionnaire was used.

A total of 294 preschool children and 250 caregivers were studied. Among the caregivers, 212 (71.9%) had good knowledge\u00a0and 149 (50.5%) had good practice of deworming. There was a statistically significant association between the age of respondents and knowledge score (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20096.471,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.039) and between the educational level of respondents and practice score (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u200930.632,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Most respondents in the rural community had a good knowledge of worm infestation and only half had good practice of deworming.
