Currently, Dengue and Chikungunya represent important disease burden to Risaralda. Community based interventions, like Insecticide Treated Nets, Insecticide Spraying and Education have showed impact on Dengue control in trials, but in Risaralda this control is far of been achieved presumably because the lack of community commitment. In this context, how could the following question be answered: How and to what extent the social and cultural contextual factors favor or limit the implementation of community based interventions for dengue and chikungunya control in the metropolitan area of Risaralda, Colombia?

Dear Jaime,
You might find the framework used in this article on the evolution of social-ecological systems interesting.

Dear Jaime,
You could use an institutional frame to identify and analyze the social and cultural contextual factors that influence on the implementation of community based interventions. As sets of cultural-cognitive, normative and regulatory elements (Friedland & Alfort), institutions (e.g. State, community, family, market, enterprise...) are embedded in individuals and organizations and determine different institutional logics that may be complementary to or conflict with each other. For instance public health community concerns may conflict with market constraints.
The institutional approach may be usefully supplemented by a so-called anthropological (cultural) approach (Douglas, Merton, Hood, Wildavsky…) that enables to capture the unintended effects of social actions and interventions leading to paradoxes or reverse effects of collective intervention.
Hope that these comments help.
