TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: NCEZID Community-based Mosquito Surveillance

PURPOSE: CDC has provided funding and technical assistance in the development of a surveillance, education, and community engagement app called Kidenga (http://Kidenga.org), launched in the fall of 2016, to help prevent and control the spread of Aedes mosquito-borne diseases like Zika, dengue, and chikungunya in US-Mexico border communities. Developing a flexible and responsive framework for neighborhood-level environmental management is paramount to controlling mosquito populations, and without significant community engagement, mosquito control programs have often failed. The Health Belief Model suggests that ‘cues to action’, in conjunction with other factors can improve the chances of the recipient of the cue performing health behaviors. In a survey conducted by partners at the Arizona Department of State Health Services, participants ranked targeted weather-based alerts of mosquito risk as a top feature that would motivate them to use the Kidenga app regularly, and over 70% of pregnant women surveyed reported interest in such weather-based alerts. Therefore, the CDC Kidenga team seeks to explore potential solutions for better engaging pregnant women and their families in mosquito-control in their environments through the Kidenga app. With this innovation, pregnant women, their families, and ultimately the communities using this app may improve their capacity to take action in mosquito control at the most critical risk periods.

Therefore, to succeed in building useful app features for pregnant women, the Kidenga team seeks to first talk with pregnant women and their MHPs to better understand the end-user, the problem, and the appropriate solutions. Ultimately, the team aims to develop an innovative, low-resource approach to facilitate improved community engagement in mosquito control.
