Public knowledge, belief, and preventive practices regarding dengue: Findings from a community-based survey in rural Bangladesh

ConclusionsThe findings of this study found a moderate level of knowledge regarding dengue among the community people. Despite having good practices in several aspects of dengue prevention among the participants, the overall score was not sufficient. This suggests that there is a pressing need for expanded education outreach aimed at increasing public awareness of dengue and encourage preventive practices within rural communities in Bangladesh.
