Non-Communicable Diseases such as stroke, diabetes mellitus, heart attack, and hypertension have increasingly lurked in Indonesia. The excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat (SSF) is the trigger for that case, and the government tries to take precautions for people from 13 to 18 years of age. Emphasizing on preventive health communication efforts, this study intended to assist the health promotion program of Puskesmas Purwokerto Utara 2 to apply Public Relations functions by providing IEC (Communication, Information, and Education) on controlling SSF in adolescents. This research used in-depth interviews and observations as data collection techniques, with qualitative descriptive methods to analyze the data. The result showed that this Puskesmas (district clinic) is identified as not implementing the SSF Control Program since its health promotion function is still more focused on routine programs. Meanwhile, 1.021 students in this work area need to prevent threatening diseases. Making collaboration with competent partners, Puskesmas may apply the functions of Public Relations in implementing the preventive programs by providing sufficient information about the danger of the excessive consumption of SSF, inviting people to change attitudes and actions, and representing the organization’s attitude towards society.

India contributes one fifth to the global burden of maternal mortality, which is a mostly preventable health outcome. The government of India and the city legislators of Mumbai have been working to reduce the number of maternal and infant deaths in the urban poor communities by innovative governmental health programs and improving of the healthcare system, yet due to the low female literacy rate of 65% in the nation just population based programs combat only some aspects of the program. The Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action (SNEHA), a Mumbai based non-profit, aims to work with women in vulnerable communities through one on one home-based educational intervention through local community workers. Literature reviews on educational intervention and health promotion stressed on the success of community health worker programs.This thesis aims to study the factors that lead to maternal compliance or non-compliance to educational intervention by the community workers in SNEHA. This was done through qualitative interviews with a random set of beneficiaries of the SNEHA’s Maternal and Newborn Health promotion program. The beneficiaries were asked questions about compliance of medical check ups, vaccination, and other factors of maternal and infant health. The conclusions of the thesis show that increased maternal compliance is related to better relationships with thecommunity organizers, and the negative perceptions of the public medical providers leads to lower compliance of medical check-ups.

Health development starts from the smallest unit of society, namely the family. The Ministry of Health establishes an operational strategy for health development through the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach (PIS-PK). Data collection activities carried out in the PIS-PK aim to obtain health data for each family member by the Puskesmas. This study aims to determine the description of the index of healthy families in the working area of Puskesmas Batang I by using 12 indicators of healthy families related to the Health Promotion Program. This research is a quantitative study carried out in a descriptive observative manner, namely by analyzing the data narrative. Desa Kecapak has an index value of 0.08 (Unhealthy Family), Kelurahan Sambong has an index of 0.2 (Unhealthy Family), Kelurahan Proyonanggan Utara  has an index 0.13 (Unhealthy Family), and Kelurahan Proyonanggan Tengah has an index 0 , 21 (Unhealthy Family). Puskesmas Batang I work area has an index of 0.18 and is in the Unhealthy Family category. The families that were recorded had not had total coverage, which was still 54.2%. The health promotion program of the Batang I Puskesmas includes data collection on Clean dan Healthy Behavior/Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS), training for posyandu cadres, self-awareness surveys/Survey Mawas Diri (SMD), and guidance for Alert Village/Desa Siaga.. The Health Promotion Program can refer to data on the healthy family index and PHBS by looking at the low indicator coverage of healthy families. Puskesmas can cooperate with educational institutions so that the number of families being recorded is maximized. Based on the healthy family index coverage figures, the health promotion program must synergize with the Disease Eradication Program, especially pulmonary TB disease, hypertension, and mental disorders. It is hoped that the development of posyandu and posbindu cadres can increase the coverage of the healthy family index, especially in increasing family knowledge about infectious and non-communicable diseases
