Abstract：Objective To investigate the current status of residents' awareness of dengue in Jinghong, Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture (Xishuangbanna prefecture), Yunnan province, China, and to provide a scientific basis for the establishment of accurate response mechanism and the sustainable control of dengue. Methods A representative grid was selected randomly from the grids with dengue prevention and control during the period of dengue outbreak in Jinghong in 2019. A questionnaire survey was conducted among the residents in the grid in a one-to-one question- and-answer manner. SPSS 20.0 statistical software was adopted for the statistical analysis. Results A total of 249 valid questionnaires were collected. The chi-square analysis revealed that urban residents paid more attention to dengue-related knowledge than rural residents (χ2=12.444, P=0.040). The education system staff and the highly educated ones paid more attention to the knowledge of mosquito control. Residents with different occupations, monthly average income levels, and levels of education chose different ways of seeking medical treatment if they were inadvertently infected with dengue. The highly educated ones, those high-income earners, and the education system staff were more inclined to go to the grade A tertiary hospitals. Urban residents held the view that there were more dengue infections around themselves than around rural residents. The highly educated population had a higher proportion of people who thought they had enough knowledge of dengue prevention and control than the less educated population. The results of unconditional logistic regression analysis demonstrated that residents with different ages, levels of education, and current places of residence showed different abilities to use new media to acquire knowledge about dengue prevention and control. Conclusion In Jinghong, Xishuangbanna prefecture, the elderly, the rural residents, the less educated people, and the low-income earners had a relatively low level of awareness of dengue. It is suggested that in future, the above-mentioned populations should be focused on in the establishment of local accurate response mechanism and the scientific prevention and control of dengue.
