A total of 441 participants were interviewed regarding sociodemographic status, knowledge of dengue, and self-reported prevention practices. Participants over 40 years old were more likely (odds ratio [OR] = 4.210, 95% CI = 1.652\u201310.733, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.003) to have better dengue knowledge. Participants whose average monthly household income was more than MYR3,000 (US$715) were more likely (OR = 1.607, 95% CI = 1.059\u20132.438, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.026) to have better practices of dengue prevention measures.
