Abstract | Dengue is one of the most dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in the world today. Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, is becoming an increasing public health concern in India, including regions previously considered low-risk such as Rampur Bushahr in Himachal Pradesh. This study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices (KAP) regarding dengue among students of Government College Rampur Bushahr, following the region’s first significant outbreak in 2024. A cross-sectional survey was carried out using a structured online questionnaire, which was completed by 120 randomly selected students from various disciplines. The findings revealed a generally high level of awareness about dengue transmission, symptoms, and prevention. Most respondents recognized mosquito bites, specifically from Aedes mosquitoes, as the primary mode of transmission and identified common symptoms such as fever, joint pain and body aches. Preventive measures like using mosquito repellents, covering water containers, and proper waste disposal were commonly practiced. However, gaps in knowledge and behavior were also observed. Some participants held misconceptions, such as believing dengue to be contagious or linked to dirty water. Moreover, while most students acknowledged the seriousness of dengue, only a small portion regularly eliminated standing water or participated in mosquito control activities. The study highlights the need to bridge the gap between knowledge and action through targeted awareness programs, especially those that correct misconceptions and encourage consistent preventive behaviors. Given their strong willingness to participate in awareness campaigns, students can be valuable agents of change within their communities. Strengthening health education and community involvement is essential for effective dengue control, particularly in newly affected regions like Rampur Bushahr. |
