Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a persistent health problem among rural adolescents in Indonesia, generally influenced by low health literacy and limited access to preventive education. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of an interactive, peer-based educational intervention in improving knowledge and preventive behaviors related to ARI among adolescents in Benjor Village, Malang Regency. A pre-post quasi-experimental research design was used in this study, involving 32 adolescents who were trained to deliver health education through gamified trivia sessions, animated digital media, and participatory discussions. Knowledge assessments were conducted before and after the intervention to measure learning outcomes. The results showed a significant improvement, with an average post-test score increasing by 60% compared to the pre-test score. Participants demonstrated a better understanding of ARI symptoms, transmission routes, and prevention strategies. Furthermore, the peer-based approach was shown to encourage higher engagement, trust, and message retention. These findings suggest that the combination of interactive media and peer education is an effective strategy in improving health literacy and prevention among adolescents. This model offers a scalable and context-sensitive promotive approach to improving health in rural communities with limited resources.

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes are the leading causes of high morbidity and mortality, particularly in rural areas with limited access to healthcare services and low awareness of disease prevention. The PRIMA HEALTH program was developed to manage non-communicable diseases comprehensively through preventive, curative, and rehabilitative approaches, with a focus on empowering village health cadres and encouraging active community participation. The program combines cadre training with the use of the digital platform e-SEHAT for continuous health data recording, monitoring, and analysis. This system enables systematic documentation of blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and community health activities, providing a data-driven basis for decision-making at the community level. During five months of implementation, PRIMA HEALTH improved cadres’ ability to operate digital tools and coordinate routine health checks, with community participation reaching 80%. The digital system contributed to a 40% reduction in uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes cases and promoted adherence to physical activity and healthy eating. The findings indicate that the PRIMA HEALTH program effectively strengthens community-based health monitoring systems, enhances intervention responsiveness, and supports the sustainable management of non-communicable diseases
