本文介绍了在巴西东北部的城市社区登革热的知识，态度和实践（KAP）的研究结果，其传播的风险情况。这项研究是观察性的，采用了一项半结构性调查，调查内容包括关于疾病和病媒控制措施的问题，由伯南布哥州卡波德圣阿戈斯蒂纽市圣罗莎社区选定家庭（IC 95%）的居民回答。将KAP的变量分为适当、正常和不充分。对病媒的特性有充分的了解，对疾病和控制活动有定期的了解。人们不知道水中使用的杀虫剂是化学杀虫剂，并将这些水用于家庭消费和饮用。关于政府的活动，知识不足。它还表明人们对预防登革热的态度不恰当，并且在家庭中预防病媒的做法不足。41%的居民有足够的水资源。所提出的局部风险情况与水中的不稳定性有关，也与行为有关。
This article presents the results of the study on knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on dengue in an urban community in Northeast of Brazil, and the risk situations involved in its transmission. The study was observational and used a semi-structured survey composed of questions about the disease and vector control measures, which was answered by residents of selected households (IC 95%) of the community of Santa Rosa, in the city of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco State. The variables of the KAP were classified into appropriate, regular and insufficient. There is adequate knowledge about the characteristics of the vector and regular regarding the disease and the activities of control. The population does not know that the insecticide used in water is chemical and uses this water for domestic consumption and drinking. Regarding government activity the knowledge was insufficient. It also demonstrates a non appropriate attitude regarding the prevention of dengue and insufficient practice in the prevention of the vector in the household. The practice of water care was adequate for 41% of residents. The local risk situations raised are related to the intermittency in water and also behavioral.
