Of them, many participants (70%, 182\/259) and 12 key informants (66.7%) from the two rural communities believed that the Lord Buddha would protect the good people. Majority of the participants (81.4%, 206\/253) knew that fever was one of dengue fever symptoms and most of them (82.2%, 213\/259) indicated that mosquitoes could transmit dengue fever. However, only one third of the participants (30.1%, 78\/259) indicated the perceived susceptibility of dengue fever, and only a half of them (50.2%, 130\/259) indicated the perceived severity of dengue fever. Multivariate logistic analysis (MLA) indicated that the participants with family wealth index (FWI) 4\u20135 (OR: 22.9728; 95%CI: 2.4257\u2013217.5688, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0063) were more likely to turn containers upside down (TCUD) compared to those with FWI 1\u20133; and the participants in the urban community (OR: 0.0239; 95%CI: 0.0019\u20130.3032, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004) were less likely to TCUD compared to those in the two rural communities. Around one third of the participants (36.8%, 96\/239) reported that they were willing to seek treatment first for dengue fever from public health facilities. The MLA identified that the participants with the perceived severity of dengue fever (OR: 5.0564; 95%CI: 2.0672\u201312.3683, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0004), and with beliefs of sound hygiene helpful to people\u2019s health (OR: 11.5671; 95%CI: 2.0505\u201365.2502, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0055) were more likely to seek treatment first for dengue fever from the public health facilities.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study finds that most of Dai people have sound knowledge.
