Abstract

Results showed that there was a relationship between the act of hanging clothes, the act of cleaning water reservoirs and the act of using wire mesh with each p value <0.05. Variables that are not risk factors are the act of using wire mesh with an OR value < 1. Variables that are risk factors are the act of hanging clothes and the act of cleaning water reservoirs with an OR value > 1. It is hoped that the health center can work together to conduct socialization about dengue hemorrhagic fever and the importance of protecting the surrounding environment to prevent the occurrence of Aedes aegypti mosquito breeding sites, and is expected to make prevention and control programs for dengue hemorrhagic fever cases and carry out mosquito nest eradication in the highest month of dengue cases.
