Abstract:
Dengue fever (DF) is caused by four closely related viruses (DENV 1-4). Dengue fever occurs in most tropical and subtropical Aedes egypti and Albopictus areas. Dengue threatens health and mortality in tropical regions where two-thirds of the world’s population lives. From sporadic to global, dengue has spread. This study employed quantitative research. The study took place in Dehradun’s Harawala. Accessible study participants are rural residents. A part of the population symbolizes the whole. Samples are taken from a wide population for measurement. This study used non-probability convenient sampling. This survey included 100 rural residents. The study used a structured knowledge questionnaire. This tool was best at eliciting subject answers. After a structured education program, 77 percent had adequate knowledge, 23 percent had moderate understanding, and none had deficient knowledge of dengue fever prevention and control. The ‘t’ test value was significant across all knowledge areas. The combined ‘t’ test value was significant (21.618, P<0.05). This suggests a systematic training program increases knowledge of dengue fever prevention and control.
