2.4 | Data collection
A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data collection
was done by a well briefed team of vector biology and control students.
The questionnaire consisted of four sections of items. The first section
of the questionnaire consisted of question for collecting the
demographic data of the participants. The second section consisted of
questions for assessing the knowledge level of the residents towards
A.C.L. The third section assessed the attitude and the fourth section
assessed practices of the residents towards ACL. A total of 195
residents who agreed to participate and complete the questionnaire were
enrolled in this survey. Also, in this study, the risk factors for the
incidence of A.C.L in these three endemic areas were investigated and
data were recorded through a checklist. The checklist included
environmental, behavioral and socioeconomic risk factors.
