Estrategia de participación comunitaria para la prevención y manejo de factores de riesgo en la transmisión del dengue con perspectivas en clima, ambiente, sociedad y cultura

This policy brief describes a transdisciplinary project focused on preventing dengue transmission in Argentina and Colombia by integrating climate science with community participation. The initiative emphasizes that traditional vector control is insufficient and advocates for a co-creation model involving citizens, youth, and authorities to address social and cultural determinants of health in the face of climate change.

• Climate variables, including temperature, precipitation, and urban vegetation, enable the anticipation of dengue risk several weeks in advance, which creates opportunities for early warning systems.
• While there is general knowledge regarding preventive measures, their actual application is hindered by fragmented information, access to water, and socioeconomic conditions.
• Community-led co-design of solutions increases the legitimacy, appropriateness, and sustainability of interventions, with youth specifically identified as key promoters of preventive practices within their neighborhoods and homes.
