This community service programme was implemented in the coastal community of Padelegan Village, Pademawu Subdistrict, Pamekasan Regency, with a focus on strengthening health literacy and behaviour-based disease prevention at the household level. The background of the activity is based on the vulnerability of coastal communities to health problems related to hygiene, household drinking water management, and environmental cleanliness, as well as the need for an approach that not only increases knowledge but also encourages consistent preventive practices. The programme aims to improve residents' ability to understand and use health information in an applicable manner, while strengthening key disease prevention behaviours through education and mentoring. The activity will be carried out from February to April 2025 with a behaviour-based education design combined with practice demonstrations and community mentoring, involving 48 participants (40 residents/households and 8 posyandu/PKK cadres). The stages included initial assessment, development of KIE media (brief modules and leaflets/posters), two education-demonstration sessions, two home mentoring sessions, and final evaluation. The evaluation was conducted using pre-post knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) assessments and practice observation through a checklist. The results showed an increase in health literacy and improved consistency in preventive behaviour; knowledge increased from 5.4 to 7.8, and compliance with hand washing at critical times increased from 41.7% to 72.9%. Programme outputs included an information, education and communication (IEC) package, a household monitoring checklist, and capacity building for cadres as local facilitators. It was concluded that the integration of participatory education, practical demonstrations and cadre mentoring has the potential to be effective in encouraging preventive behavioural change in coastal communities, with recommendations for integrating monitoring into the routine agenda of integrated health service posts (posyandu) and community empowerment groups (PKK) and for follow-up monitoring for 3–6 months to maintain the sustainability of practices.
