An integrated behavioral model approach to the control of dengue hemorrhagic fever and the role of waste management: A systematic review.

Waste management practices are a concern for public health and environmental protection. This research examines the relationship between waste management and the incidence of dengue fever using the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM) approach. The study adopted a systematic review methodology, which involved scanning multiple journal databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest, and following the requirements of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. We discovered 642 papers between 2018 and 2023. Articles derived from reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses were among the exclusion criteria in this study. In contrast, original studies, English-language publications, and open access were the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that the management of trash and the prevention of dengue disease are closely related. In order to accomplish integrated urban waste management for the prevention of dengue fever, local governments must understand the community's concerns, preferences, knowledge, and behaviour and involve them in the process of providing municipal trash infrastructure.
