N2  -  It is increasingly recognized that social communication and mobilization is an effective component of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) control strategy. This qualitative study conducted in four communes of Ben Tre province was to learn about community participatory measures relating to DHF prevention and control. Based on the plan developed by the commune government, local schools and social unions have implemented many measures to mobilize local households to clear the environment of mosquito breeding. The continuing implementation of these measures over the years has proved that improved knowledge and behaviour of households have significantly contributed to DHF control in the Ben Tre province
