Abstract

Background: The negative impact of tobacco, especially second-hand smokers, requires imperative actions. Introducing tobacco control measures helps protect the public health. Data suggest that there were approximately 44 million daily smokers in Indonesia comprising 49.8 million males and 3.9 million females over ten years of age. East Java Province had the biggest number of smokers in Indonesia. To reduce trends in smoking behavior, we need to advocate local government to release and implement smoke-free regulations. Aims: The study aims to do action research through advocacy and communication for the regulation of smoke-free areas in East Java Province. Methods: The action research involved 12 districts of East Java Province, Indonesia. The method used in this study was Focus Group Discussion (FGD), one-on-one meeting, in-depth interviews, public speaking, press conference, and press release. Results: Intensive advocacy and communication worked successfully. Eight districts of East Java Province implemented local regulations of smoke-free areas. The advocacy and communication of the regulations made it possible to be implemented. Conclusion: Intensive advocacy and communication improve the awareness of executive and legislative government about the importance of smoke-free area regulations. It will be successful if regular meetings, discussions, press conferences, public speaking, and team work are conducted with many stakeholders.

Abstract

Background: To achieve high and equitable immunization coverage, it is important to understand the access and utilization barriers, as well as the influencing determinants among population groups. Aims: This study aims to identify high-risk regencies and explore the application of spatial analysis to support microplanning in immunization programs. Methods: This study employed an implementation research design conducted in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Secondary datasets on immunization coverage, health human resources, facilities, and socio-economic parameters were analyzed. Focus group discussions (FGDs) and training sessions were conducted with health workers. Results: The average coverage of universal child immunization (UCI) across villages was 24.18%, while complete basic immunization (CBI) reached 55.85%. In general, regencies with low UCI and CBI often had limited human resources, inadequate health facilities, and a high proportion of high-risk populations. This study identified hot spots and cold spots in the study area. Additionally, participants reported that mapping using the application was easier and beneficial for supporting the preparation of immunization micro-planning. Conclusion: Spatial analysis can help address inequalities in immunization services and support resources during immunization. Qualitative approaches provided a deeper understanding of undocumented information. The use of mapping applications facilitated more effective microplanning in immunization programs. Keywords: Child mortality, health risk, immunization, microplanning, vaccine.
