I know what dengue is and how it is transmitted
The mosquito A. aegypti is the disease's vector
I can catch dengue by direct contact with a diseased person
I can catch dengue by drinking contaminated water
I can only catch dengue when bitten by A. aegypti
I can influence dengue transmission through my actions/attitudes
The dengue mosquito breeds in dirty water
The dengue mosquito breeds in clean water
Plant vases, old tyres, bottles, and bottle caps can be breeding places for the dengue mosquito
Water reservoirs that are incompletely covered can be breeding places for the dengue mosquito
Accumulated water in roof gutters can be a breeding place for the dengue mosquito
I ought to contribute to dengue control by removing the breeding places in and around my house
I ought to contribute to dengue control by informing my neighbours about what has to be done
Putting sand in plant vases helps to control dengue
Keeping water reservoirs clean and well-lit helps to control dengue
Removing trash and old tyres does not help dengue control
Cleaning the roof gutters helps to control dengue
I ought to contribute to dengue control by alerting the health authorities about problems in my borough
I have to wait until the health authorities visit my house to eliminate A.aegypti breeding sites
I always remove all of the water from plant vases, putting sand in its place
I always remove objects that accumulate water from the backyard of my house
I always keep the water reservoirs well cleaned
I always keep the water reservoirs well lit
I always alert my neighbours about what has to be done for controlling dengue
I do not wait until the health authorities visit my house to eliminate A. aegypti breeding sites
I believe that the vaccine will eliminate dengue
Only children should be vaccinated
I would like to be vaccinated
If I were vaccinated, then I would not need to remove water from the plant vase or to put sand in its place
If I were vaccinated, then I would not need to worry about properly covering the water reservoir
If I were vaccinated, then I would not need to care about the trash in my backyard
If I were vaccinated, then I would not need to care about cleaning the roof gutters
If I were vaccinated, then I would never catch dengue
If I were vaccinated, then I would not need to care about talking about dengue with my neighbours
I will be one of the first to be vaccinated
I do not believe that the vaccine can eliminate dengue
