Data is collected by using questionnaire sheet. Based on the test results of non-parametric Wilcoxon statistics, indicating that the domain knowledge p value = 0.000, 0.046 and 0.003 gauge attitudes domain (α = 0.05). The results of this statistical test proves that health education on the prevention of transmission by using audio-visual influence the family’s behavior to minimize the possibility of behavior in families with pulmonary tuberculosis in Sikumana Public Health Center. The advantage of the audio-visual media can increase the knowledge, attitude and practice of family until three times to prevent the transmission of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
