摘要
背景目标:登革热和日本乙型脑炎(乙脑)是媒介传播疾病(VBDs),在印度农村造成公共卫生挑战,具有严重的社会经济挑战和健康影响。阿萨姆邦是印度东北部的一个邦,以其亚热带炎热和潮湿的条件而闻名,这有利于携带疾病的媒介的快速传播和生存。本研究采用社会经济系统(SES)框架,探讨在不同环境条件下,包括城市、城郊和农村地区,与登革热和脑炎流行相关的关键决定因素。该研究揭示了阿萨姆邦三个地区的人口统计细节、住房条件、向家庭提供的病媒控制措施以及社区做法。分析结果表明,3个地区的供水、蓄水系统和病媒生物孳生地之间存在显著的相关性。方法:对dibrugarh、Tinsukia和Karbi Anglong 3个疾病易发地区的3600户家庭进行调查,了解社区对登革热和乙脑的知识和属性的差异。数据收集采用结构化问卷、ODK (Open Data Kit)平台观察法。采用卡方检验确定地区差异。结果:卡方分析显示,家庭供水、蓄水系统、媒介孳生场所、蚊虫控制措施和社会人口统计学特征存在显著的地区差异。尽管植被覆盖茂密,但迪布鲁加尔和廷苏基亚的蚊媒疾病病例记录较低。然而,Dibrugarh的牲畜饲养构成了脑炎病例的威胁。解释结论:研究过程中产生的确定因素可以为制定有针对性的干预策略提供信息,最终有助于阿萨姆邦农村和城郊地区的登革热和脑炎病媒控制和预防。
Socio-Demographic study of Dengue and Encephalitis in Assam: Understanding the impact of Socio-Economic factors on disease prevalence.
Background objectives: Dengue and Japanese-B-Encephalitis (JE) are Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) that cause public health challenges in rural India with severe socio-economic challenges and health impacts. Assam, a North Eastern state of India is known for its sub-tropical hot and humid conditions that facilitate rapid transmission and survival of disease-carrying vectors. The present study employed the Socio-Economic Systems (SES) framework to explore the key determinants associated with the prevalence of Dengue and Encephalitis in state's diverse environment condition, including urban, peri-urban and rural areas. The study revealed the demographic details, housing conditions, vector control practices offered to households, and community practices in three districts of Assam. Our analysis revealed significant relationships between water supply, water storage systems, and vector breeding site among three districts.
Methods: The study involved 3600 households in three disease prone districts-Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Karbi Anglong to see the difference in community knowledge and attributes towards Dengue and JE. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, observation method in Open Data Kit (ODK) platform. Chi-square test was employed to determine district-wise variations.
Results: Chi-square showed significant district-wise variations in water supply in households, water storage system, vector breeding sites, mosquito control practices and socio-demographic characteristics. Despite dense vegetation cover, cases of mosquito-borne diseases recorded low in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia. However, livestock rearing in Dibrugarh poses a threat of Encephalitis cases.
Interpretation conclusion: The identified factors generated during the study can inform the development of targeted intervention strategies, ultimately aiding in the vector control and prevention of Dengue and Encephalitis in Assam's rural and peri-urban areas.
