Abstract

The prevalence of unsafe food coloring in snacks consumed by elementary school children remains a public health concern, particularly in urban and rural school environments. Despite ongoing efforts, studies have inadequately addressed the role of educational interventions in improving children’s awareness regarding the consumption of harmful food additives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program in enhancing knowledge about food coloring among elementary students. A community-based educational intervention was conducted at Elementary School of Inpres Cilallang, Makassar, targeting fifth-grade students. The method employed was direct health education using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure knowledge improvement. Findings revealed a significant increase in students’ understanding of harmful food colorants in street food and the ability to identify healthier snack options post-intervention. The program demonstrates the feasibility and impact of simple, targeted health education in promoting food safety awareness among school-aged children. These results highlight the importance of integrating such interventions into public health strategies, especially in urban-rural transitional zones where food safety monitoring may be limited.

Abstract

especially in the respiratory system. Toddlers are one of the risk populations for ARI. This study aims to analyze the risk factors that influence the incidence of ARI in toddlers in Benteng Town, Selayar Islands Regency. The type of research used is analytic with a case control approach. The sampling method used was purposive sampling technique. The total number of samples was 74 samples. The results of data analysis were tested using the Chi Square test and the Logistic Regression test. The results showed that ventilation factors (p = <0.001 <0.05), occupancy density (p = 0.020 <0.05), and smoking habits of family members (p = 0.006 <0.05) were risk factors for the incidence of ARI in toddlers. The use of mosquito coils (p = 0.100 > 0.05), immunization history (p = 1.000 > 0.05), nutritional status (p = 0.563 > 0.05), and family income (p = 0.053 > 0.05) were not risk factors for ARI among children under five. The conclusion of this research is that of the seven variables studied, there are three variables that are risk factors for the incidence of ARI in toddlers, with ventilation being the most influential risk factor for the incidence of ARI in toddlers. Suggestions in this research are to maintain the cleanliness of the environment around the house and behave cleanly and healthily to prevent toddlers and families from ARI disease transmission.
