The implementation method consisted of a pretest, education and outreach, interactive discussion, a waste management demonstration, and a posttest as the evaluation instrument using an 8-item multiple-choice questionnaire. <strong>Results: </strong>The results showed an increase in the participants’ average knowledge score from 6.88 (median 7; range 4–8) at pretest to 7.69 (median 8; range 7–8) at posttest, accompanied by a narrowing score range indicating more even understanding among participants. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This activity proved effective in improving community knowledge regarding ARI risk mitigation due to environmental mold and waste management, and is expected to be applied sustainably in daily life.</p> Queency Felicia Aisyah Candra Maharani Putri Ayesha Jasmine Firdausi Chofifah Ilma Nafie Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Diverse Medical Research : Medicosphere https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-05-29 2026-05-29 3 5 216 226 10.33005/jdiversemedres.v3i5.342
