Summary

The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on the score of the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of dengue in in primary and middle school students in the city of Guangzhou and Foshan in China.

Individuals aged 6 to 15 years who are in grades 1-9 in primary schools in Guangzhou and Foshan will be enrolled. 20 primary schools will be randomly selected, with half designated as intervention group schools and the remaining half as control group schools. The intervention group will receive a health education intervention focused on dengue prevention every semester for 6 months, while the control group will continue with their routine school health education for 6 months.

Researchers will compare the differences in the score of the KAP of dengue between the intervention and control groups after 6 months to see if health education can improve knowledge, attitudes and practices of dengue among primary and middle school students.
