(2009). <i>Dengue knowledge, policies, and Aedes Larval population in selected low and high dengue priority areas in Miagao, Iloilo</i> [Undergraduate research paper, University of the Philippines Visayas].

Questionnaire-guided interviews were conducted to assess the knowledge and practices of the study population. Larval surveys were done to determine <i>Aedes</i> larval populations, expressed as House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Breteau Index (BI). Results showed that respondents from the low priority area were more knowledgeable on dengue than the respondents from the high priority area (p<0.05). Dengue preventive practices were found to be the same for both low and high priority areas. There was, however, no significant relationship between dengue knowledge and dengue preventive measures (p<0.05). Results from (he larval survey revealed that both low and high priority areas have HI and BI above the WHO standards (HI<5%; BI<20) and are considered “high risk” areas. Lastly, age (p<0.01) and educational attainment (p<0.05) were found to affect an individual’s dengue knowledge.70 p.DengueAedes larvaeDengue preventionAedes aegyptiMosquitoLG 993.5 2009 P8 D46ThesisdengueAedes aegyptidisease controlepidemiologyhealth careSDG 3 - Good health and well-beingSDG 15 - Life on land
