Abstract

Malaria is one of the endemic diseases that are often found in the tropics. This disease is caused by the plasmodium parasite and is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 300-500 million cases are reported each year with one million deaths occurring in developing countries. Efforts to eradicate malaria will be carried out by involving community participation through eradicating malaria-causing vectors. In this regard, it is necessary to have public awareness to practice clean living by maintaining environmental cleanliness as a form of malaria prevention efforts. The counseling was carried out aimed at increasing public knowledge about malaria and prevention efforts. The counseling method is carried out with lectures and face-to-face discussions with participants. The results of this counseling can foster public awareness, attitudes, and behavior towards malaria prevention and control. The community is expected to be able to increase awareness of malaria transmission through prevention efforts undertaken.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease is still one of the main causes of pain and death in the world. Diarrhea has attacked all age groups and severe illness with high mortality obtained in infants and children. Poor environmental conditions are one of the factors increasing the incidence of diarrhea. To overcome environmental problems, one thing that can be done is to increase public awareness and knowledge with indicators of public health through devotion. This community service uses lecture, audio-visual and demonstration methods with very effective results so that it can increase the knowledge and insight of the community in tackling and preventing diarrheal diseases and making people aware of the importance of protecting the environment in order to remain good and healthy.
