Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that remains a public health problem in Indonesia. According to 2024 data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Indonesia ranks second in the world in the number of TB cases, behind only India. Low knowledge of TB prevention and treatment among adolescents is a significant contributing factor to the spread of this disease. This Community Service activity aims to increase students' knowledge and awareness at Pancar Bakti High School, Gunung Pancar, Bogor, regarding TB prevention and treatment. The activity methods included interactive counseling, group discussions, and knowledge evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The activity results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of TB, with the average post-test score rising by 35% compared to the pre-test.
