Article Synopsis
- Arboviruses are viruses transmitted primarily by mosquitoes, causing major diseases like dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever, with public health strategies focusing on community behavior changes to reduce mosquito breeding.
- The study aims to evaluate KAP (Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices) questionnaires related to these arboviral infections to better understand community awareness and prevention strategies.
- A scoping review will be conducted by analyzing various scientific databases, assessing the KAP questionnaires' content and methodologies, with results presented clearly through tables and figures, while knowledge will be shared via conferences and publications.
