The \u201cHealthy Environments and Communities\u201d (E&amp;CS) program, led by the Health Secretariat, promotes community practices to eliminate\n                      <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n                      breeding sites.

The quantitative component evaluated fidelity among health personnel using a CFIF-based instrument, measuring Content Details, Frequency, Duration, and Coverage. Independent-samples t-tests compared mean fidelity scores between subgroups (DSVII and CSLL). The qualitative component included semi-structured interviews with health personnel and community members, coded using a priori CFIR categories and emergent themes to identify barriers and facilitators. Frequencies of barriers and facilitators among health personnel subgroups were compared using Fisher\u2019s exact test, and chi-square tests assessed differences in distribution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall mean fidelity was 91.2% (95% CI: 88.5\u201393.4%). By construct, Content Details reached 92.4%, Frequency 89.8%, Duration 90.5%, and Coverage 91.3%. Among health personnel (n\u2009=\u200923; 142 responses), Fisher\u2019s exact test showed no significant differences (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). After combining responses, the distribution did not differ from chance (\u03c7\u00b2\u2009=\u20099.73, df\u2009=\u20096, p\u2009=\u20090.136). In the R\u00edo Florido community, significant differences were observed (\u03c7\u00b2\u2009=\u200983.16, df\u2009=\u200911, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Main barriers included \u201cinsufficient attention from the health center\u201d and perceiving the Health Secretariat as responsible for dengue. Key facilitators were recognition of E&amp;CS, respectful relationships with health personnel, and belief in program success.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>High fidelity of the E&amp;CS program (&gt;90%) in R\u00edo Florido was accompanied by a differentiated pattern of barriers and facilitators, balanced among health personnel but uneven in the community.
