The content of the prevention and control of zoonotic disease was validated by a 5 expert panel and the scale content validity index of scale was 1. The efficiency of the publicity medias was tested through field test. Data was analyzed using description statistics. The community-based communication program for prevention and control of zoonotic disease transmission was developed.
