Taenia saginata infection occurs when people consume beef-containing tapeworm larvae that have not been properly cooked. Once the larvae reach the small intestine, they become adult tapeworms within 2.5 to 4 months. The disease’s impact and complications significantly affect human health. Patients may experience bloating, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, and discomfort in the anal region due to the detachment of tapeworm segments, which can crawl out of the body through the anus. Objective: To determine the prevalence and describe some factors related to Taenia saginata infection among residents of Ea Bar commune, Buon Don district, Dak Lak province, in 2024. Research Method: A cross-sectional study using the Kato stool examination technique and a KAP survey to detect the infection rate and describe related factors. Results: The study found that the prevalence of Taenia saginata infection in the study area was 9.56%. The infection rate in the age group 26 and older was higher (17.65%) than those aged 25 and younger (2.13%). This difference was statistically significant (p
