A 2015 study conducted in rural India used the theory of “reasoned action and planned behavior” (Figure 1) as the framework for developing education and awareness campaigns to improve knowledge and preventative practices of infectious diseases (waterborne, airborne, and vector-borne) in three regions in rural India. These awareness campaigns were led by representatives within clusters of villages and centered around discussion (symptoms and easily performed preventative measures) and practical…
