Community members’ knowledge, attitude, and practices towards Ebola virus prevention in the Western Province of Rwanda
Our study found that some respondents were aware of EVD and the UMURINZI program, and had started to adopt the positive attitudes and practices suggested by program supporters. We propose that similar initiatives; effective community engagement and mobilization be used to maximize desired behavior.
