Community-driven policy recommendations for dengue prevention and control in Thailand: A mixed-methods study
Effective dengue control requires context-specific, evidence-based strategies that strengthen community participation, empower village health volunteers, and enhance vector control. Early warning systems and intersectoral collaboration are vital in high-risk areas, while transparent, culturally tailored communication can improve vaccine acceptance. These findings provide evidence to guide policy toward sustainable, community-centered dengue prevention and control.
