Research method based on the concept of observational analytical research with cross-sectional study techniques to describe and examine what factors are related to the incidence of TB transmission in families or households. Result. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the incident and preventive measures, with a p value of 0.046. Based on the results of the analysis, those who were highly knowledgeable (10%), had a 75% risk of developing pulmonary tuberculosis.
