| Abstract | There are various public education campaigns aimed at preventing the spread and prevalence of dengue fever. These generally employ the use of bednets, pesticides, and the removal of standing water near populated areas. We propose a comparison of these different techniques distinguishing between those techniques that provide benefits to the individual employing them (local behavioral change) and those that may benefit many individuals (global behavioral change). Although global strategies are more effective at preventing an outbreak, we suggest some incentives for the inclusion of both strategies in a public campaign to fight dengue fever. |
