Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge until now. Indonesia’s ranking is among the top three high-burden countries. Banyumas Regency reported 3,042 cases in 2021, the highest in Central Java. Families play a critical role in TB prevention, yet their involvement remains suboptimal. This study explores factors influencing family behavior in TB prevention within the Baturraden II Community Health Center area to strengthen prevention strategies.
