Information and communication technologies (ICT) show promise in health education for controlling Aedes aegypti, the vector for dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Further research is needed to address knowledge gaps and ensure equitable digital health literacy.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Education
  • Vector-borne Disease Control

Background:

  • Aedes aegypti is a primary vector for dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.
  • Health education is crucial for vector control strategies.
  • The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in health education is a growing area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incorporation of ICT in health education for Aedes aegypti control.
  • To review the existing literature on ICT interventions for Aedes aegypti-borne disease prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review across six databases (Medline/Pubmed, SciELO, Lilacs, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, Scopus, Wos).
  • Inclusion of studies published between 2000 and 2024 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

  • Adherence to Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 12 out of 425 articles met the selection criteria.
    • Mobile applications were the most utilized ICT, facilitating instant communication and information access.
    • Most studies focused on urban populations and evaluated educational impact, experiences, and behavior change theories.

    Conclusions:

    • ICT integration in health education for Aedes aegypti control shows promising effects on knowledge, entomological indices, and acceptability.
    • A significant knowledge gap exists, with only 12 relevant studies identified.
    • Digital health literacy is essential to prevent inequalities, and more evidence-based research is needed across diverse contexts.
