Dengue is an arbovirus of great public health impact. Based on the importance of community health workers (CHW) in the prevention and control of dengue, this article aims to analyze the professional qualification of CHW in public health policies related to dengue; using a qualitative descriptive document analysis of the primary sources of electronic documents of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, available online until February 2016. In total, 14 documents were analyzed based on content analysis. The results show few publications about training policies in the context of the dengue. Even though there is an incipient policy for CHW qualification, there is no regulation of their technical work. It is necessary to discuss who are these workers and the reasons why the regulation of CHW training does not appear in the agenda of dengue control policies and its vectors.
