1990年12月間為比較高雄縣大寮鄕與高雄市學齡前兒童蟯蟲感染情形，以多步驟隨機抽樣選取大寮鄉七家幼稚園532名學童及高雄市幼稚園544名學童，以透明膠帶肛門擦拭法(scoth tape perianal swab technique)檢查蟯蟲，於檢查後並以問卷訪問學齡前兒童家長，問卷資料以SAS軟體之Cochran-Mantel-Haenzel Statistics進行分析。 由結果顯示大寮鄉與高雄市學齡兒童蟯蟲感染情形的比較，兩者感染率在控制年齡、性別、籍貫、住屋坪數、住屋房間隔間數、在家主要活動空間、地面材質、咬手指習慣、食前洗手習慣; 便後洗手習慣、洗澡方式、兒童主要照料者、父母親職業、家中人口、同房人數、同床人數影響因素後，大寮鄉學齡兒童蟯蟲感染率仍顯示顯著高於高雄市。
