Abstract: The aim of this study was to provide a synthesis of published studies investigating education-based arbovirus control strategies. The data were collected from the LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE databases using the descriptors "Health Education" and "Aedes", together with the Boolean operator "AND". The searches retrieved 242 studies, 14 of which were included in the review after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach, resulting in the identification of four categories: vector control actions based on community capacity building; social mobilization for arbovirus control; education-based vector control combined with biological control; and integrated arbovirus control actions. The findings show that health education is an essential element of arbovirus control and should be implemented in conjunction with other vector control strategies.
