Introduction.
To evaluate the effectiveness of prevention programs applied in some developing regions of diseases such as dengue, tools such as surveys on knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) are used. Therefore, it became necessary to highlight the existing literature on knowledge, attitudes and practices of dengue in schoolchildren.
Methods.
A review of the literature using the sources Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Scielo is submitted. It includes 16 articles published between 2001 and 2014.
Results.
Most studies revealed that the schoolchildren knowledge, attitudes and prevention strategies against dengue are insufficient, contradictorily, the implementation of educational strategies promote a positive change in them.
Conclusion.
CAP Studies have shown that dengue prevention strategies are successful, however the positive impact work is tangible only to the extent that these actions have continuity.
