Improving the quality of public health is strongly influenced by the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB). However, unhealthy behaviors are still found among 60 families in RW 08, Domas Village, Salatiga City, Central Java. Among these families, 60% of members smoke, 60% do not conduct mosquito nest eradication (PSN), and 53.3% have hypertension but show low medication adherence. Additionally, 37% of the population have only completed primary school education. This community service activity aimed to increase CHLB knowledge through the CERIA program (Cegah Penyakit, Rajin Hidup Bersih dan Sehat / Disease Prevention through Consistent Clean and Healthy Living) among adults and older adults in RW 08, Domas Village. The intervention consisted of a handwashing exercise and the delivery of health education to 20 participants. Educational materials included four posters addressing topics such as CHLB, medication adherence, smoking prevention, and mosquito control (PSN). To assess changes in knowledge, participants were asked to respond to eight statements before and after the intervention. The average knowledge score increased from 48.12% (pre-test) to 56.87% (post-test), indicating a positive change in participants’ understanding of CHLB practices. The CERIA health education program effectively improved community knowledge of CHLB. It is expected that this increased awareness will support healthier behavioral changes among adults and elderly residents.
