“…12 There has been an increasing trend of community-based participatory interventions using integrated community engagement strategies in the recent decades. [13][14][15][16][17] However, findings from a systematic review indicated that the evidencebased community engagement in dengue vector control programs was still weak. 18 Also, multi-entity coordination and partnership between relevant stakeholders in most dengue programs have been limited.…”

The dengue situation in the urban setting of Hanoi city, Vietnam, is emerging, focusing on inner districts. Previous studies showed that a dengue vector control program in Hanoi was not effective because of the lack of adequate engagement of the local government authorities, health sector, and community. This implementation research aimed to explore barriers to implementing community engagement in a dengue vector control program in an urban district of Hanoi city. Ten in-depth interviews and 14 focus group discussions were conducted at Lang Thuong, Khuong Thuong, Tho Quan, and Kim Lien wards in Dong Da district, Hanoi city. Data collection was implemented from April to June 2017. All discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using the content analysis approach. Secondary data from the dengue vector control program reports were used to support the qualitative evidence. We found that the barriers to implementing effective community engagement were as follows: 1) lack of interest and an attitude of dependency on action from the health sector of local people's committee, 2) lack of enthusiasm of mass organizations and community leaders, 3) overburdened workloads and lack of communication skills from health sector, 4) low awareness and readiness from community, 5) lack of detailed policy guidelines and low enforcement of related policy, and 6) limited budget. Recommended actions should be made to improve the community engagement in the current resourcelimited context of Vietnam by both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

“…Conversely, removing trash and stagnant water from around the residence is protective (78, 84-87, 94, 99), especially when the government acts with intention and the community is consistently mobilized (85,86). However, results depend on the local ecology of vector breeding (83,87).…”

“…Creating awareness about the crisis and health and environmental risks surrounding plastic pollution will not immediately decrease supply, but information may increase social pressure and responsibility to adopt sustainable practices at household (75,85,183,192), community (75,86,87,99,183,191,(193)(194)(195)(196), and corporate levels (186,187) that may decrease demand in the future (see details in Supplementary Material 3). For example, Sommerfeld et al (87) summarize a 5-year research and capacity-building initiative conducted in South Asia and South-East Asia.…”

“…Tana et al (86) built an innovative community-centered dengue-ecosystem management intervention in Yogyakarta city, Indonesia and assessed the process and results. The intervention results included: better community knowledge, attitude, and practices in dengue prevention; increased household and community participation; improved partnership including a variety of stakeholders with prospects for sustainability; vector control efforts refocused on environmental and health issues; increased community ownership of dengue vector management including broader community development activities such as solid waste management and recycling.…”

Tana et al (86) note, the community-centered approach needs a lot of effort at the beginning but has better prospects for sustainability than the vertical "top-down" approach.…”

Background: Infectious disease epidemiology and planetary health literature often cite solid waste and plastic pollution as risk factors for vector-borne diseases and urban zoonoses; however, no rigorous reviews of the risks to human health have been published since 1994. This paper aims to identify research gaps and outline potential solutions to interrupt the vicious cycle of solid wastes; disease vectors and reservoirs; infection and disease; and poverty. Methods: We searched peer-reviewed publications from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Stanford Searchworks, and references from relevant articles using the search terms ("disease" OR "epidemiology") AND ("plastic pollution," "garbage," and "trash," "rubbish," "refuse," OR "solid waste"). Abstracts and reports from meetings were included only when they related directly to previously published work. Only articles published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese through 2018 were included, with a focus on post-1994, after the last comprehensive review was published. Cancer, diabetes, and food chain-specific articles were outside the scope and excluded. After completing the literature review, we further limited the literature to "urban zoonotic and biological vector-borne diseases" or to "zoonotic and biological vector-borne diseases of the urban environment." Results: Urban biological vector-borne diseases, especially Aedes-borne diseases, are associated with solid waste accumulation but vector preferences vary over season and region. Urban zoonosis, especially rodent and canine disease reservoirs, are associated with solid waste in urban settings, especially when garbage accumulates over time, creating burrowing sites and food for reservoirs. Although evidence suggests the link between plastic pollution/solid waste and human disease, measurements are not standardized, confounders are not rigorously controlled, and the quality of evidence varies. Here we propose a framework for solutions-based research in three areas: innovation, education, and policy. Krystosik et al. Solid Wastes and Disease Vectors and Reservoirs Conclusions: Disease epidemics are increasing in scope and scale with urban populations growing, climate change providing newly suitable vector climates, and immunologically naïve populations becoming newly exposed. Sustainable solid waste management is crucial to prevention, specifically in urban environments that favor urban vectors such as Aedes species. We propose that next steps should include more robust epidemiological measurements and propose a framework for solutions-based research.

Purpose Dengue hemorraghic fever (DHF) is a communicable disease that is difficult to manage, especially in tropical countries. Social capital is believed to be able to improve the ability of entire communities to work together to solve a collective health problem. This study aimed to describe the existing social capital in a community and how it was used to fight DHF. Methods Qualitative descriptive methods were used, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 participants. This study was conducted in the Sawahan sub-district, Surabaya, Indonesia, an endemic area that combats DHF every year. Findings Results showed that social capital as a community feature provides the main cornerstone of collective action. The creation of social groups, intersectoral collaboration, mutual assistance in cleaning, and voluntary work were visible forms of social capital in the prevention and control of DHF. Support from strong leaders also had significant implications. Conclusions This study showed that social capital was an important feature, which, if managed, used and accessed properly, would be able to provide ideas for solving community problems.
