Data collection can be done by using questionnaires in the form of interviews and observations. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, namely Dependent T-Test or Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there was an effect of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior education with poster media on the level of knowledge about Clean and Healthy Living Behavior and the presence of larvae in Geyer Village (p-value=0.000). Education on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior using poster media is effective in increasing community knowledge and reducing the presence of larvae, which in turn can contribute to efforts to prevent mosquito-borne diseases. In addition, education through posters also contributed to a decrease in the presence of larvae in the neighborhood.
