Abstract

This study examines the role of preventive and promotive health education in improving community health through an interdisciplinary, community-based approach. Using qualitative methods such as interviews, focus groups, observation, surveys, and document analysis, the findings show that collaboration among healthcare professionals, educators, and community stakeholders enhances health awareness, participation, and adoption of preventive behaviors. Participatory and culturally sensitive education proves more effective in driving behavioral change. However, limited resources, coordination issues, and socioeconomic barriers hinder program sustainability. Strengthening intersectoral collaboration, community empowerment, and long-term planning is essential to achieve sustainable community health improvements.
