Evaluating the impact of the ‘Four Pest-Free Villages’ program on mosquito-borne disease control in Zhejiang Province, China: a cross-sectional study on knowledge, attitudes, and practices

The "Four Pest-Free Village" program-targeting mosquito, fly, cockroach, and rodents-significantly improved residents' health literacy and their adoption of vector control practices. This underscores the necessity of customized interventions based on demographic variables and the significance of integrating health education programs with environmental management. The results offer useful recommendations for maximizing vector control initiatives and enhancing public health outcomes in both urban and rural regions. To further improve and bolster these tactics, future studies should incorporate more variables and broaden the data sources.
