Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measured after the first dengue season (year 2) and in the third year, at the end of this phase of the trial: 1. Childhood recent dengue infection (age 4 - 9 years) as estimated by saliva IgG (two samples with 4-fold increase in titre) 2. Entomological index (pupal density)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Measured after the first dengue season (year 2) and in the third year, at the end of this phase of the trial: "CASCADA" of intermediate outcomes: 1. Conscious knowledge regarding dengue, its prevention and control 2. Attitudes (in relation to different options for dengue control; is it worth doing this or that action) 3. Subjective norms (what neighbours do) and positive deviations from a negative norm 4. Intention to change behaviour in the future and to implement preventive action 5. Agency (collective and individual self-efficacy - feel capable of carrying out the actions in a sustained manner and with one's own resources) 6. Socialisation (discussions about dengue, its prevention, control and consequences) 7. Action (interventions, practices) 8. Health literacy, resilience, social capital
