Introduction: In tropical regions, dengue is one of the main public health problems, so it is urgent to carry out measures to control the disease. Objective: To evaluate the impact of dengue primary prevention campaigns on the epidemiology of the disease in the city of Belém-PA. Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative analytical approach, carried out with secondary data. Data were collected from prevention campaigns carried out by SESMA and from dengue cases from 2014 to 2018 registered on the DATASUS platform. Data analysis was performed using a Gaussian temporal trend, 6th order parabolic model and linear correlation. Results: Four trends were observed in the dengue incidence rate (DIR) in 265 epidemiological weeks: A) Progressive increase in DIR from 2014 to 2015; B) Large increase in incidence in 2015; C) Decrease in incidence in 2016 and D) DIR oscillation from 2017 to 2018, with the end of 2018 showing the lowest numbers. The correlation between dengue and prevention campaigns was weak in all years, however, significant in 2017 and 2018, with p=0.0002/R=0.4889 and p=0.0051/R= - 0, 3826 respectively. Conclusion: The DIR had an oscillatory profile and showed a decrease over the period studied, having a weak correlation with the analyzed prevention actions, which was significant in 2017 and 2018.
