Social assessment on an integrated intervention for the prevention of Zika and other Aedes-borne diseases in pregnant women and their families in Mexico

Abstract

Results of the project show that pregnant women can be provided with free or low-cost integrated interventions with methods of known efficacy (topical repellent and insecticide-treated window screens) along with educative strategies, and that they are highly motivated to use these methods to enhance maternal-child health for Zika and other Aedes-borne diseases (ABD). This is a one-page assessment/synopsis of the integrated intervention.
