En República Dominicana, las campañas de concientización encaminadas a informar, sensibilizar y movilizar a las comunidades en la eliminación de los riesgos asociados a la presencia de enfermedades vehiculadas por mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) se desarrollan, fundamentalmente, durante los períodos epidémicos, careciendo de sostenibilidad en el tiempo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue desarrollar el programa educativo «Sácale los pies al mosquito» para la prevención y el control de enfermedades vehiculadas por mosquitos en Jarabacoa, municipio ubicado en la Cordillera Central. El programa consta de cuatro fases: diagnóstico, planeación, ejecución y evaluación. En la fase de diagnóstico se aplicó una encuesta CAP a 17 centros educativos de enseñanza media, para un total de 639 encuestados. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se desarrollaron charlas educativas y talleres dirigidos a satisfacer las necesidades de aprendizaje identificadas y fomentar la participación consciente y sostenible de los escolares en las acciones de prevención y control, tanto en el entorno escolar como comunitario. Conjuntamente, se creó un sitio web como espacio de divulgación científica sobre las temáticas abordadas. Los resultados obtenidos, a partir de la implementación del programa educativo, han aportado elementos claves para promover la participación de las comunidades en la prevención y control de esta problemática, así como garantizar la sostenibilidad de las acciones desarrolladas.
In the Dominican Republic, awareness campaigns aimed at informing, sensitizing and mobilizing communities to eliminate the risks associated with the presence of mosquito-borne diseases (Diptera: Culicidae) take place mainly during epidemic periods, with no sustainability over time. The objective of this work was to develop the educational program «Sácale los pies al mosquito» for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases in Jarabacoa, a municipality located in the Cordillera Central. The programme consists of four phases: diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. In the diagnostic phase, a KAP survey was applied to 17 secondary schools, for a total of 639 respondents. Based on the results obtained, educational talks and workshops were developed aimed at satisfying the identified learning needs and promoting the conscious and sustainable participation of school children in prevention and control actions, both in the school and community environment. Together, a website was created as a space for scientific dissemination on the topics addressed. The results obtained from the implementation of the educational program have provided key elements to promote the optimal participation of communities in the prevention and control of this problem, as well as ensuring the sustainability of the actions developed.
