Abstract: The overarching goal of this project is to engage key audiences in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) regarding a variety of Zika prevention activities (personal protective behaviors and vector control activities) in order to assess the current situation and to inform future action. Information collected in this assessment will be used to help refine communication and vector control plans and guide implementation of activities defined in those plans in order to prevent and control Zika virus in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Emergency Justfication: Recently, the U.S. Virgin Islands has seen a large jump in cases. Response leaders at the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Health and CDC have asked the behavioral science team to do a comprehensive assessment of different facets of the response among several audiences in order to help understand the current situation and to inform next steps. The U.S. Virgin Islands has reported 1,425 cases of Zika with 575 laboratory-confirmed cases. Sixty-one of these cases are among pregnant women. Because Zika is an emerging arboviral disease and a sexually transmitted disease that is known to cause microcephaly and other serious birth defects in babies if a pregnant woman is infected during her pregnancy, an urgent assessment of individuals’ Zika prevention strategies is urgently needed to inform the ongoing response in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
