Social mobilization for dengue, zika and chikungunya prevention and control of Aedes aegypti has been a challenge in the country. This paper presents the process of elaboration of a virtual platform, including the composition of its collection and the exploratory analysis of its use, as a tool in a social mobilization proposal that encompasses the creation of popular committees in the territories for the confrontation of the three diseases and vector. The construction of the platform considered: ease of use; access; material storage; interactivity and database for data monitoring. The selection of the collection was based on the following criteria: technical, considering source and authorship; accuracy, regarding the agreement between health information and evidence; legibility, ensuring the understanding by different groups. The exploratory analysis used the platform database. The results showed the platform as a tool which can contribute to health communication and information in this proposal of social mobilization.Downloads
