Article Synopsis
- Many Koreans traveling to malaria-endemic countries lack awareness and knowledge about malaria, with only 24% seeking pretravel health information.
- Independent predictors for seeking information included being a Korean woman, longer travel duration, traveling independently or to rural areas, and perceived malaria risk.
- A significant portion (47%) of travelers felt no risk of malaria, and only 7% carried malaria prophylaxis, highlighting the need for improved education on travel-related infectious diseases.
