Design of an implementation research study for a digital omnichannel community engagement and risk communication intervention for the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases in India: the OMNIVEC-India study protocol
A co-designed VBD-CERC strategy that ensures community/user-centricity is likely acceptable and sustainable within local communities. Such a strategy is also likely to bring about the desired public health outcomes. While this intervention primarily targets VBDs, it also has potential applications in other diseases, both in India and globally.
