Increased dengue case occurs throughout Southeast Asia. Semarang Health Office held some programs to control dengue. They were rainfall monitoring, Routine Mosquito Larvae Monitoring program (Pemeriksaan Jentik Berkala or PJB), One House One Larvae Observer Movement (Satu Rumah Satu Jumantik or SRSJ), and Students Search for Mosquito Larvae Movement (SICENTIK or Siswa Cari Jentik). This study aimed to assess whether the programs reducing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases were effective. The method used were correlation analysis. Data obtained from every subdistrict in Semarang and reported to Semarang Health Office. The average of DHF cases was 79.5 ± 13.69. Correlation test results between dengue cases with rainfall was r=0.951 (p=0.049); Larvae Absence Rate (LAR) from PJB program was r=0.648 (p=0.352); LAR from SRSJ was r=0.804 (p=0.196); LAR from SICENTIK Movement was r=0.961 (p=0.039). Correlation between rainfall and LAR from Students Search for Mosquito Larvae Movement with DHF case were significant and had positive strong correlation. Correlation test results of LAR from routine larvae program and one house one larvae observer movement had strong correlation but were not significant. © 2020 Universitas Negeri Semarang
