dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted to: (1) determine the profile of people usually bitten by dog; (2) determine dog management by owners; (3) determine the level of awareness of people regarding rabies; (4) determine the practices and myths of dog bite victims; and (5) the correlation among demographic profile, dog management, level of awareness, myths and practices of dog bite victims in La Union. The study made use of the descriptive survey research which utilized questionnaire as tool in gathering data. It was carried out in the ten selected towns of La Union. There were two groups of respondents considered in the survey: those bitten by dogs or the dog bite victims and those non-bitten. Random selection of ten respondents from each town for the total of 100 dog bite respondents was done. The same number was also randomly selected to correspond to the non-bitten respondents. The survey questionnaire was dry run or pre-tested among ten dog bite victims from the town of Sta.Cruz, Ilocos Sur, a place which was not covered by the study. Data and information gathered were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean and correlation ﴾Pearson r﴿ analysis.
