ABSTRACT
A community intervention was performed in workers of 30 entities located in the industrial area of Santiago de Cuba municipality during the biennium 2009 -2010 to establish the health empowerment in them. Among the main results was the training for all union and political leaders and antivectorial surveillance and control brigade, unlike administrative leaders, of whom only 86.6% participated in the study because they considered it was not their responsibility. Regarding the environmental conditions, an increment of Aedes aegypti breeding sites was observed during the rainy season, associated with increased accumulation of water in natural or artificial reservoirs or both. However, there was a social impact on environmental management in 9 of these institutions through the integration of community interests, joint planning and participatory evaluation, which was the main strategy. Finally, it was recommended to implement this process of health empowerment in other workplaces in the industrial area to prevent diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and rodents.REFERENCES
