Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of education and leaflets on community attitudes regarding drug storage and disposal in Gading Rejo Utara Village, Pringsewu. The innovation of this study lies in the use of leaflets as an educational intervention at the village level. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a pretest–posttest approach to 111 respondents selected using a quota sampling technique. The variables studied included community attitudes regarding drug storage and disposal. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires from February–April 2025. The results showed a significant increase in community attitudes after the intervention, so that education using leaflets had positive implications for safe and appropriate drug management in households
