The national worm prevalence rate in 2015 was 28.12%, with regional prevalence varies over 50%. Worms survey in a sample of elementary school children in West Lombok Regency in 2011 showed a prevalence rate of 29.47%. The limited scope of prevention efforts has led to increased coordination across partners including pesantren. This community service program aimed to implement the prevention of intestinal worms through counseling and demonstration of clean and healthy behaviors (PHBS) indicators at one of the boarding schools in West Lombok. The methods used in this program is semi-structured interview and observation of students’ knowledge with questionnaire sheets.

Generally, this program contributes to the mastery of simple PHBS indicators consisting of: handwashing with soap (CTPS), footwear use, and periodic weight and height measurements
