Public’s attitudes towards autocidal trap in Malaysia
Keywords:
age, attitude, autocidal trap, dengue prevention, educationAbstract
As dengue incidence rises yearly, there are several reports on the poor effectiveness of conventional vector management techniques. One of the major illnesses that endanger public health and occasionally result in death is dengue. Due to the lack of a specific treatment for dengue, the autocidal trap was selected as an alternate strategy for dengue prevention in the survey. This essay's goal is to evaluate and contrast Malaysians' attitudes toward the autocidal trap as a dengue-prevention strategy across educational levels and age groups. In Malaysia's Klang Valley, a poll of 415 adult respondents was conducted. The study's findings suggested that Malaysians had positive opinions toward autocidal traps. The Malaysians expressed moderate levels of perceived risks when it came to negative effects and harm to the health and ecosystem, despite their high levels of perceived benefits and behavior intentions. This suggests that Malaysians tend to be decisive when expressing their opinion toward an unusual technique like an autocidal trap. A substantial variation in attitudes regarding autocidal traps was revealed by one-way MANOVA across stakeholder groups, educational attainment levels, and age groups.
