Abstract
Objectives: To ascertain the knowledge, attitude, and practices of the people about dengue fever among rural and urban areas of Peshawar, Pakistan

Preventive practices among the two groups proved to be significant only in individual practices (p=0.000) and storage of water with frequent changing of water containers (p=0.013).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest need for further information, education and communication programs, especially in rural areas.
