Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Perceptions of the Eco‐Bio‐Social Determinants of Dengue Transmission in São Paulo, Brazil: A Mixed‐Methods Study
Several individual- and household-level factors were associated with dengue knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceptions in São Paulo. There is a need to increase public awareness about dengue and its vaccine. Future research should assess the effectiveness of community-tailored interventions to reduce dengue risk in this urban, climate-vulnerable setting.
