Results: The findings showed that community education level (p=0.001), health service access (p=0.001), community participation in education programs (p=0.001), social media use in education campaigns (p=0.001), health workers support (p=0.001) had a significant effect on the success of the sociocultural education approach in preventing Tuberculosis. Meanwhile, the variable of social media use in educational campaigns significantly influences public awareness and participation in efforts to prevent Tuberculosis, with an Exp value (B)=15.581 and a p=0.001 < ?=0.05 value.
Conclusion: This research concludes that the tuberculosis prevention strategy in Tapanuli Selatan Regency needs to be supported with an integrated sociocultural education approach that accommodates the roles of social media, health service access, community participation, and health workers' support.
