Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs and remains the leading cause of infectious death worldwide. It spreads through droplets when an infected person coughs or speaks, and if untreated, it can lead to severe complications. Indonesia has a high TB burden, with cases expected to rise by 2023. The low public awareness, particularly in areas with limited information access, contributes to the high incidence and treatment failures. Health education is an essential strategy to increase understanding of early detection, prevention, and treatment of TB. Community service activities, such as providing TB education at SMA Negeri 1 Kutalimbaru, are crucial to support TB prevention efforts. The purpose of this activity, held on October 29, 2025, was to increase students' knowledge, raise awareness about the risks and impacts of TB, and teach preventive measures. The event involved five lecturers, two students, and 30 student participants. It included lectures, discussions, and enforcement of coughing/sneezing etiquette, allowing students to practice proper etiquette. The success of the activity was measured through pre- and post-test questions to evaluate the increase in participants' knowledge and practical skills. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of TB prevention, with the highest pre-test score being 66 and the highest post-test score reaching 90. Feedback from the students confirmed their increased awareness. This educational activity effectively contributed to TB prevention by promoting proper coughing etiquette, strengthening both school and community-based prevention efforts.
