Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Aedes infestation levels, assessed every 11 days over the total duratin of follow-up (13 months): 1. House Indices (HI): number of houses positive for at least one container with Aedes aegypti immature stages/100 inspected houses 2. Breteau Indices (BI): number of containers positive for Aedes aegypti immature stages/100 inspected houses 3. Pupal Indices (PI): number of Aedes aegypti pupae/inhabitant In cycles of 11 days, the National Vector Control programme conducted routine entomological surveys in all dwellings of the municipality. This provided the entomological information for all clusters for the period of January 2005-February 2006. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Proportion of breeding sites positive for first and second instar larvae. Data were collected as for the primary outcome measures every 11 days over 13 months. 2. Percentage of blocks (approximately 20-50 houses per block) repeatedly positive for larvae. Data were collected as for the primary outcome measures every 11 days over 13 months. 3. Level of community participation based on the Rifkin criteria, assessed 12 months after the start of interventions | — |
