"ANALYSIS OF DETERMINANTS OF CLEAN AND HEALTHY LIVING BEHAVIOR (PHBS) IN URBAN COMMUNITIES A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY IN A DENSELY POPULATED AREA"

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a crucial indicator in improving public health status. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the implementation of PHBS in urban communities residing in densely populated areas. Using a quantitative cross-sectional approach, this research involved 150 respondents from three sub-districts in City X. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using logistic regression. The results show that education level, knowledge of PHBS, access to clean water, and the role of health cadres are significant determinants of PHBS practices. These findings recommend the need for more intensive community health education and strengthening the role of health cadres as agents of behavioral change.
