Abstract

Dengue is a global health problem. Community participation plays a crucial role in the prevention and control of dengue. This systematic review aims to examine the benefits and barriers of community participation in controlling dengue fever. Searching several journal databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, and Web of Science from 2013 to 2023. Various activities involving community participation in controlling dengue fever have proven to be beneficial, such as reducing vector density and increasing knowledge, attitudes and behavior regarding dengue fever control in the community. Various barriers in increasing community participation in dengue control include individual factors, community factors and Societal factors. It is important to develop programs that consistently involve the community in the prevention and control of dengue fever, as well as overcome barriers that may influence community involvement in the prevention and control of dengue fever.
