Overall, the HBM can facilitate and improve knowledge about dengue prevention and control and raise awareness about the threat of the disease. In fact, development of critical awareness is one of the most important stages for effective development. “As awareness rises and insights develop, so the demand for new knowledge, new skills and new understandings will often grow; and as knowledge, skills and understanding grow, so the picture of the possible range of actions and of the goal will change” (Rogers, 1992, pp. 124–125). This study has found that although the community has heightened awareness, the control messages being delivered do not always resonate with householders lived experience of mosquitoes, dengue and household water use practices.
