This paper describe the demographic profile of the students and the level of Dengue awareness and prevention among them. It also determines the significant difference in the level of dengue awareness when classified according to gender, grade level, and socioeconomic status, and the significant relationship between the level of dengue awareness and the level of dengue prevention of students.
Dengue the mosquito borne disease is a growing health treat in a whole world. The lack of awareness and prevention in dengue can cause a lot of problems. This study used a descriptive normative survey and the use of simple random sampling to gain a lot of information from an individual or a group perspective. Results found that the distribution of respondents according to grade level and gender is widely from grade 6 and is mostly female. Also the students of BNSF have a moderate level of dengue awareness and prevention. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in level of awareness according to grade level, gender, or socioeconomic status.
The outcome also found that the relationship between the level of dengue awareness and the nature of illness, early symptoms and cause is not significant. These findings suggest that having a program like orientation and seminar can improve the students knowledge and awareness. Fogging and the use of insect repellent are effect ways to prevent dengue disease.

Research Objectives & Main Themes
This research aims to evaluate the level of awareness and prevention practices regarding dengue fever among students at the Bula National School of Fisheries. The study seeks to determine the respondents' demographic profile and analyze if there are significant differences or relationships between their awareness levels and socioeconomic variables, gender, or grade level to provide insights for improved local health interventions.
- Demographic profiling of students (grade, gender, socioeconomic status).
- Assessment of student awareness levels regarding dengue transmission, symptoms, and causes.
- Evaluation of preventive practices, focusing on self-protection and "search and destroy" strategies.
- Statistical investigation into the link between awareness levels and the actual implementation of prevention behaviors.
Excerpt from the Book
Background of the Study
Now a days, many people have been infected with dengue disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) consider dengue as a major global public health challenge in the tropic and subtopic nations. Dengue has seen a 30-fold upsurge worldwide between 1960 and 2010, due to increased population growth rate, global warming, unplanned urbanization, inefficient mosquito control, frequent air travel, and lack of health care facilities. Two and a half billion people reside in dengue-endemic regions[5] and roughly 400 million infections occurring per year, with a mortality rate surpassing 5–20% in some areas(Hansan 2016).
Dengue, the mosquito borne disease has become a growing public health threat in Bangladesh due to its gradual increasing morbidity and mortality since 2000. In 2019, the country witnessed the worst ever dengue outbreak. There is an urgent need to increase health promotion activities through campaigns for eliminating the misconception and knowledge gaps (Imam Hossain 2021).
Dengue is a disease caused by four separate but related viruses transmitted by mosquitos. The Philippines during the past 60 years. We reviewed 135 eligible studies, of which 33% were descriptive epidemiologic studies or case series, 16% were entomologic or vectorcontrol studies, 12% were studies on dengue virology and serologic response, 10% were socio-behavioral and economics studies, 8% were clinical trials, 7% were on burden of disease, 7% were investigations on markers of disease severity, 5% were on dengue diagnostics, and 2% were modeling studies (Agrupus 2019).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the core subject of this research?
The research focuses on assessing the awareness level and existing prevention practices regarding dengue fever among students enrolled at the Bula National School of Fisheries.
What are the primary themes discussed in the paper?
The study revolves around demographic profiles, awareness of dengue causes and symptoms, adherence to preventive measures like "search and destroy," and the relationship between knowledge and practice.
What is the main research question or objective?
The primary objective is to determine the extent of dengue awareness among the students and to assess if this knowledge significantly impacts their preventive health behaviors.
Which scientific methodology was employed?
A quantitative, descriptive-normative survey approach was used, utilizing simple random sampling to gather data from students through a structured questionnaire.
What does the main body of the work cover?
It covers a detailed literature review on dengue trends, a presentation of the conceptual framework, the methodology of the study, and an analysis of the gathered statistical data.
Which keywords characterize this research?
Key terms include dengue awareness, dengue prevention, BNSF students, quantitative research, public health, and vector control initiatives.
How is the "level of awareness" measured in this study?
Awareness is measured using a 5-point scale survey that tests students' knowledge regarding the nature of the illness, early symptoms, and causes of dengue infection.
Does the study find a significant relationship between awareness and practice?
The data suggests that the relationship between awareness of the nature of the illness/symptoms/causes and effective prevention practices is not statistically significant, implying that knowledge alone may not drive behavioral change.
Are there gender-specific differences found?
Yes, the study identifies a significant difference in dengue awareness levels when classified by gender, highlighting the potential need for gender-tailored health interventions.
