Strengthening community capacity is a strategic approach to improving public health outcomes, particularly through preventive health education that actively involves community participation. This study aims to analyze the role of participatory-based preventive health education in enhancing community knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward health promotion and disease prevention. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions involving community members, health cadres, and local stakeholders. The findings indicate that community participation plays a crucial role in increasing the effectiveness and sustainability of preventive health education programs. Active involvement of the community in planning, implementation, and evaluation fosters a sense of ownership, improves health literacy, and encourages collective responsibility for maintaining healthy behaviors. Moreover, participatory approaches strengthen social capital and empower communities to identify and address local health problems independently. This study concludes that preventive health education based on community participation is an effective strategy for building resilient and self-reliant communities in promoting long-term public health improvement.
