Technical Specifications Content Guide for Behaviors with High Potential to Prevent Zika

The Technical Specifications Content Guide (available in English and Spanish) specifies the evidence-based technical requirements and steps to be followed for the practice of each key behavior to reduce the risk of negative consequences caused by Zika during pregnancy.

This reference document for partners in the Zika response provides detailed technical information and specific steps to facilitate the adoption of the desired behavior.

This guide accompanies the Zika Prevention Behavior Matrix, which analyzes the efficacy and feasibility of seven behaviors with high potential to prevent the transmission of Zika and Congenital Zika Syndrome, based on a review of existing literature, data, and consultation with implementing partners of the USAID Zika response in several Latin American and Caribbean countries.
