This section briefly describes issues that are rarely or never discussed, study objectives, methods, and a summary of significant results. The abstract must end with a comment about research contributions or conclusions. In the last part, it is complemented by a Graphical Abstract in the form of a picture or a graphic that describes the article's contents with a size of 900 pixels x 500 pixels and a resolution of 100 pixels. The end of the abstract consists of 3 to 5 keywords in alphabetical order that best describe the nature of the research.

Besides, it contains the background of the problem and issues related to the research problem, and presents data from national or world institutions. The introduction also presents reviews of previous research that are relevant, statements about research gaps, or differences with previous research that lead to a statement of the novelty, and in the final paragraph, the author conveys the hypothesis and research objectives.

METHODS. The research method is discussed clearly and in detail consisting of 300-400 words describing the type of research and the approach used, place and time of research, consideration of subject selection and research situation, sources of literacy and information, population and sample, sampling method, research procedures, including informed consent, Instrument used, data processing/analysis, processing, analysis, and presentation of data, statement of obtaining health code of conduct permit through the research ethics commission

RESULTS. The results contain 400-500 words describing the overall information obtained during the research process.

DISCUSSION. Discussion of the results obtained is in the form of theoretical explanations, consisting of 900-1000 words (excluding citations). Important points about this section include: Does not display/repeat research data, each research finding is compared or synthesized with the results of other research and is linked to the relevant theory. This sub-chapter describes the meaning of the findings obtained as well as the contribution to public health science, the strengths and limitations of this research, as well as the possibility of further development.

CONCLUSION. Conclusions and suggestions consist of 1-2 paragraphs without bullets, containing 200-300 words. The conclusion must indicate the results that answer the research question and the contribution of findings to public health. Suggestions or inputs are given to several parties at the regional/central government or the institution where the research is conducted or recommendations for other research.

REFERENCES. The references follow the APA 7th style, which only includes all the libraries cited in the manuscript, and the author is strongly advised to use a reference manager.
