Conclusion
The concept of community capacity building for sustainable community-based dengue prevention and control consists of four steps, namely, determining community capacity,assessing community capacity, implementation and evaluation or improvement. Based on the author’s studies[15, 36-38],the results point out that the initial distinctive features of community capacity needed for sustainable communitybased dengue prevention and control were 10 domains.Then, after development, testing and assessment the tool, it was confirmed that there were 14 factors or omains involved in dengue community capacity in the leaders group and 11 domains in non-leaders group. The DCCAT as a new assessment tool could be used in areas of high dengue incidence. The application model of the new tool consisted of five steps: 1) community preparation, 2) assessment, 3) community hearing or meeting, 4) interventions, and 5) conclusion and improvement step. All stakeholdersin the community should use the new tool based on a common understanding of measurement objectives, desired outcome, available resources and communal characteristics. If communities need to develop community capacity for dengue prevention and control, designed pre-postintervention assessments or serial assessments are essential.
