ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00883441

Purpose

This project will provide new insights concerning how to reduce dengue transmission by means of cost-effective and sustainable implementation strategies of vector control methods. The research will assess key strategies which deliver new vector control tools with respect to their cost-effectiveness, acceptability and sustainability in contrasting environments.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
VM: Experimental implementation of new vector control tools (insecticide treated curtains and jar covers) through the existing routine vector control programme	Other: Insecticide treated curtains and insecticide treated covers The study is comparing the introduction of two new vector control tools (insecticide treated curtains and insecticide treated covers) through two different distribution strategies. These tools are curently not in use in the routine programmes of the concerned countries.
PM: Experimental implementation of new vector control tools (insecticide treated covers and curtains) through partnerships	Other: Insecticide treated curtains and insecticide treated covers The study is comparing the introduction of two new vector control tools (insecticide treated curtains and insecticide treated covers) through two different distribution strategies. These tools are curently not in use in the routine programmes of the concerned countries.
