Dengue is a global public health priority with an estimated burden of 390 million infections yearly. Approximately half a million of the cases needed hospitalization due to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever with 2.5?tal outcome. With no effective treatment available and limited effectiveness of current dengue vaccine, dengue control strategies relay on integrated vector control interventions.
The vector control strategy focuses on combining use of on larva breeding site elimination, biological or chemical larvicide and insecticide intervention. However, such interventions require complex implementation strategies to be able to ensure the sustainable implementation and resulting in positive impact of reduction in dengue transmission.
Implementation research focuses on addressing the bottleneck of implementation and in dengue control means developing intervention packages that ensures the acceptability and adoption of intervention by community which lead to sustainability of intervention. This presentation aims to discuss factors that influence the degree of community engagement and participation in Dengue control |
