SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF DENGUE PREVENTION AND CONTROL INTERVENTIONS IN COMMUNITY SETTING AMONG SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS FROM 2010 TO 2020
Author: Ebrahim, Lester Khalil B.
Date: July 2021

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease that has caused significant problems among public health systems in the world, especially in tropical countries where it is endemic. It is not fully possible to control dengue effectively if efforts on prevention and control are limited on one or few countries. Since Dengue traverse boundaries, efforts shall be coordinated regionally. Systematic reviews includes a systematic and comprehensive search strategy of relevant studies, lowering bias in selection, identification, and synthesis in a particular topic. . The focus of this research is synthesis of Dengue prevention and control intervention in communities among countries of Southeast Asia. For this review, PRISMA checklist guideline was utilized. Electronic database used for the review include: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOHost, Medline, CINAHL. This review also included a comprehensive search of relevant studies within the research database of the ADZU-SOM. Final synthesis for this review includes 9 studies. 6 of these studies fall into the socio-behavioral intervention classification which seeks to mitigate vector-to-human contact through changes in the behavior among community people. The last 3 studies fall into the environmental manipulation classification through management of water containers. Among the 9 studies, all 7 studies concluded with an effective intervention while 2 studies concluded with partial effectiveness of intervention. Among the 7 studies that reported effectiveness, the study Intervention utilizing direct elimination of breeding habitats combined with health education was deemed to be the most effective means in lowering Dengue in the community. Despite perceived need of effective dengue prevention and control interventions among communities in Southeast Asia, only few countries have the capacity for active surveillance to determine the overall progress towards successful control of Dengue among communities.
