Abstract

          This research aimed to study the effect of dengue prevention and control program with participation of
people in communities Champasak Province, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, within and between the experimental group and the comparison group study. The subjects were 94 persons, divided into 47 experimental groups and 47 comparison groups. Data were analyzed by statistical distribution of frequency, percentage, mean, standarddeviation, and minimum andmaximum values in thedemographic data ofthe sample groups. Statistically
analyzed paired t-test to compare intra-group differences in cognition. Perceived danger and violence perception of riskperceived benefit and prevention and control behaviors of dengue hemorrhagic fever of both the experimental
and comparison groups, and statistically analyzed independent t-tests to compare the difference in scores between the experimental and comparison groups. in terms of cognition Perceived danger and violence perception of risk perceived benefit and prevention and control behaviors of dengue hemorrhagic fever of both before and after the experiment at the P-value <0.05.

        The results showed that, before the experiment, it was found that the cognitive Perceived danger and violence perception of risk perceived benefit and prevention and control behaviors of dengue hemorrhagic fever of the experimental group and the comparison group Most of them had a moderate and low score, respectively, and
after the experiment, it was found that the mean score was higher. both cognitive scores Perceived danger and violence perception of risk and perceived benefits of both the experimental group and the comparison group The
experimental group had average scores in terms of cognition. Perceived danger and violence perception of risk and perceived benefits statistically significantly higher than the comparison group at the P-value <0.05. As for the practice of dengue fever prevention and control behavior, it was found that there was no difference. Therefore, public health officials should have public relations to educate the public on dengue prevention and control. There must be continuous prompting and monitoring in order to lead to correct dengue prevention and control behaviors. And should be tested for effectiveness in preventing or controlling dengue fever in the community by adjusting to
be appropriate for the context in each area to increase the effectiveness of dengue prevention and control in the community.
