Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is currently still a public health problem both in Indonesia and internationally so that it is one of the goals of sustainable health development. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the 10 leading causes of death worldwide. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Tuberculosis Prevention Therapy (TPT) on medication adherence for household contacts in the Hitu Health Center work area. Method: The research design used was pre-experimental with the approach (One Group Pretest-Posttest Design). The number of samples was 40 people taken by Total Sampling. The previous intervention of Tuberculosis Prevention Therapy (TPT) was first carried out by health education given through leaflets. Results: The results of the analysis indicated a statistically significant improvement in medication adherence after the intervention, as evidenced by a p-value of less than 0.05. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Discussion: The increase in knowledge and attitudes observed in this study may be attributed to the health education intervention. The findings indicate that the educational program contributed to improving participants' understanding and promoting positive attitudinal changes toward the recommended health practices. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) significantly improved medication adherence among household contacts within the Hitu Health Center service area
