Summary

Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by four distinct but closely related dengue virus (DENV). The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically worldwide in recent decades, with cases reported to WHO increased from 505,430 cases in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2019. The total number of dengue cases in Malaysia has increased from merely 6,543 cases in the year 1995 to 130,101 cases in the year 2019. Knowledge, attitude and practice remain the most effective driving tool against dengue prevention and control and it becomes very necessary to plan an integrated module for the primary prevention of dengue infection especially among school children.

Aims The present study intends to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of theory-based integrated dengue education module in improving the knowledge, attitude, practice, environmental cleanliness index, and dengue index among school children in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

Methods This study is a single-blinded, cluster randomized controlled trial study, expected to be conducted from 1st June 2023 to 31st May 2025 among 20 primary dan 20 secondary schools in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. The respondents will be allocated into intervention and control groups randomly based on selected clusters to avoid contamination. The intervention group will receive IDEM, while the control group will receive standard education. The outcome will be measured using validated, self-administered questionnaires at four time points: baseline (T0), Immediately (T1), one month (T2), and three months (T3) post-intervention to measure the effectiveness of the intervention module. The data will be analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 28 involving descriptive and inferential statistics. The Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) will be used to test the main effect and interaction between and within the intervention and control groups over time at T0, T1, T2 and T3. This study will use a significance level with a p-value of 0.05 and a confidence interval of 95% for hypothesis testing
