The purpose of this project is to
establish longitudinal follow-up of a community cohort and evaluate
the impact of vector control interventions in 14 clusters in
southern Puerto Rico. The investigators have prior experience
working in these communities; however, there is minimal available
information regarding the prevalence or incidence of infection with
tropical arboviruses, density of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, or cluster
members’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding behaviors
intended to avoid mosquitoes. Such information will be needed to
inform decision-making regarding the location, design, and content
of interventions to be implemented and evaluated to reduce the
burden of these pathogens. This Reinstatement includes updated
estimates for the number of respondents based on participation
rates in the most recent year. We also request OMB approval for
changes to the content of all four questionnaires and for the
addition of the AIS text messaging system, the AIS questionnaire,
and the COVID-19 case follow up questionnaire. Burden to
respondents will increase by 838 hours per year.
Reinstatement with Change for
0920-1254 includes revisions to existing data collection
instruments, and addition of new data collection instruments to the
previously approved collection. Total burden increases by 838
burden hours.
