[Evaluation of compliance with dengue fever prevention: the case of Catanduva, São Paulo, Brazil].

The research aimed to identify factors that interfere with on-going preventive practices by local residents. The authors began with a qualitative approach emphasizing preventive work within local women's daily context, mediated by the relationship they establish with vector control agents.
