Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem, including in the city of Semarang, with the East Semarang subdistrict recorded as the area with the highest incidence of cases. This condition demonstrates the need to strengthen public health literacy and cross-sector collaboration as part of a regional TB control strategy. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of stakeholders regarding TB control, while strengthening awareness of the urgency of cross-sectoral synergy. The activity was carried out in the form of Communication, Information, and Education (KIE) through material presentations, question and answer sessions, and the provision of modules. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests on 22 participants to measure changes in knowledge. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed no statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.157), indicating that the participants already had a good level of prior knowledge before the intervention. However, there was a strengthening of understanding on crucial aspects, such as early identification, active screening, the role of health cadres, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration in TB control. This activity contributed to strengthening the capacity of stakeholders and encouraged regional readiness in supporting TB elimination through a more structured, integrative, and sustainable approach.
