Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Tinea capitis is a global public health concern with a unique therapeutic challenge and mostly affects children. The burden is double in developing countries. There is no study on school-going children from the urban residence in Ethiopia.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of Tinea capitis and its associated factors among school children in Gondar town northwest, Ethiopia 2021.
METHODS: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among school children in Gondar town from November 20 to December 20, 2021. Data was collected through an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. A stratified simple random sampling technique was employed. Then data were entered into EPI Info version 7.22 and transferred to Statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22 for further analysis. The binary logistic regression model was employed to identify factors associated with tinea capitis, and the strength of association and statistical significance was declared using the adjusted odds ratios with its corresponding 95% CI, and p-value ≤ 0.05 respectively.
RESULTS: The prevalence of tinea capitis among school children in Gondar town was found to be 29.4%. Public school student (AOR = 2.79 95% CI: 1.34-5.87), widowed mother (AOR = 6.09, 95% CI: 1.83-11.23), students in the age group of 5-8 years (AOR = 3.79 95% CI: 1.68-8.55), animal contact (AOR = 2.61 95% CI: 1.15-5.90), and family similar illness category (AOR = 8.49 95% CI: 3.73-11.39) have risen the likelihood of tinea capitis among school children.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of tinea capitis was higher. Young age, children from widowed marital status, illiterate mother, history of share blades, animal contact, a family similar illness, and lower number of living rooms are important factors contributing to tinea capitis among school children. Health education for the mother on the mode of transmission, prevention, and improve the low socioeconomic status of the parent is crucial.

摘要：
背景：头癣是全球公共卫生问题，具有独特的治疗挑战，主要影响儿童。发展中国家的负担是双重的。没有关于埃塞俄比亚城市住所上学儿童的研究。
目的：确定西北贡达镇学龄儿童头癣的患病率及其相关因素，埃塞俄比亚2021年。
方法：于2021年11月20日至12月20日在Gondar镇的学童中进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。数据是通过采访者管理的结构化问卷收集的。采用了分层简单随机抽样技术。然后将数据输入EPIInfo版本7.22，并转移到社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）版本22进行进一步分析。二元logistic回归模型用于确定与头癣相关的因素，使用调整后的比值比及其相应的95%CI和p值≤0.05来声明关联强度和统计学显著性.
结果：在贡达尔镇的学龄儿童中，头癣的患病率为29.4%。公立学校学生(AOR=2.7995%CI：1.34-5.87)，丧偶母亲（AOR=6.09，95%CI：1.83-11.23），5-8岁年龄组的学生（AOR=3.7995%CI：1.68-8.55），动物接触（AOR=2.6195%CI：1.15-5.90），和家庭相似疾病类别（AOR=8.4995％CI：3.73-11.39）增加了学龄儿童发生头癣的可能性。
结论：头癣的患病率较高。年轻的年龄,丧偶婚姻状况的孩子，文盲母亲,共享刀片的历史，动物接触,一个家庭类似的疾病，和较少的客厅数量是导致学龄儿童头癣的重要因素。对母亲进行传播方式的健康教育，预防,改善父母的低社会经济地位至关重要。
