Abstract
In November 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional household survey in District South Tangerang. One hundred six trained public health university students distributed online and offline questionnaires to be completed by a household member in 13 Public Health Service (PHS) areas proportionally (Approximately 3,326 households included in this study, with 350 to 420 sample households per PHS). For offline questionnaires, cadres help the students distribute the questionnaire to the households. Only one questionnaire per household was requested. Same surveys were identified and removed if the name, address, and phone number were identical. This study found that the respondent^s behavior towards the health protocol was influenced by a) the respondent^s knowledge about covid 19 (P-value 0.001 95% CI (OR 2.008 (1.796-2.245)), b) the respondent^s attitude (P-value 0.001 95% CI (OR 2.219) ( 1.988-2.478), c) Enabling factors (P-value 0.001 CI 95% (OR 2.648 (2.401-3.000)), d) Reinforcing factors (P-value 0.001 CI 95% (OR 2.917 (2.603-3.269)). also, that the largest behavior carried out by respondents was wearing masks (79%), inviting families to wear masks (79%), and washing hands (74%), while keeping a distance was only done by 59% of respondents. To improve the implementation of health protocols, the government must intervene in public knowledge through education, intervention on enabling factors such as the availability of infrastructure in implementing health protocols, and also strengthening through laws and supervision of community leaders.
