The self-administered questionnaires were used to measure knowledge and preventive practice. Aedes mosquito larvae survey was also conducted. The data were analyzed by percentage, frequency, standard deviation and paired t-tests at significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that the students’ knowledge scores increased after completing the program (p<0.05). The mean practice scores on dengue prevention and elimination of Aedes larvae breeding sites were not different (p>0.05). The container index (CI) was zero after completing the program due to the regularly practice of dengue prevention and elimination of Aedes larvae breeding sites. Health promotion programs that apply a social marketing mix can be used as a school teaching model to encourage students to understand and participate in the prevention of dengue fever.
