Adolescence is a crucial phase for the development of lifelong health behaviors. Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is essential for enhancing public health, particularly among adolescents. This study focuses on the role of character education based on local wisdom in promoting PHBS among adolescents in Balaesang District, Donggala Regency. The findings revealed significant relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and actions toward the implementation of PHBS. Character education based on local wisdom was found to strengthen adolescents knowledge, attitudes, and actions, leading to improved implementation of PHBS. Integrating cultural values with health education can effectively enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and actions of students, contributing to better public health outcomes.

This study shows that students knowledge, attitudes, and actions have significant relationships with the implementation of PHBS.Students with good knowledge and attitudes are more likely to consistently implement PHBS.Local wisdom values integrated into character education have also been shown to strengthen students understanding and behavior in implementing PHBS.This confirms that a local culture-based approach positively impacts improving healthy behaviors among students.The findings underscore the importance of character education based on local wisdom in enhancing the implementation of PHBS.Interventions that include improving knowledge, fostering positive attitudes, and support from the social environment and adequate infrastructure are necessary to encourage the success of the PHBS program.

To further enhance the implementation of PHBS among adolescents, future research could explore the potential of integrating local wisdom into health education programs. This could involve developing culturally sensitive teaching materials and activities that align with the values and traditions of the target community. Additionally, investigating the impact of involving parents and community members in these initiatives could provide valuable insights. By engaging the entire community, including students, parents, and local leaders, the effectiveness of PHBS programs can be maximized. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are needed to observe the long-term effects of character education based on local wisdom on adolescents behavior and health outcomes. These studies could provide a deeper understanding of the sustainability and impact of such interventions.
