However, participants reported good climate change knowledge (76.7%), attitudes (87.9%) and practices (39.1%). The corresponding figures for DF were knowledge (47.9%), attitudes (80.3%) and practices (25.9%). Good knowledge and attitudes were significantly associated with good climate change adaptation or mitigation practices (p&amp;lt;0.05). Good knowledge, attitudes and previous DF experiences were also found to be significantly associated with good DF prevention practices (p&amp;lt;0.001). There was no significant positive correlation between climate change and DF KAP scores and the number of DF cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
