Main Article Content
Abstract
The authors would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Indonesian Health Research and Development Agency (Balitbangkes), Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia, for generously funding this research project. The financial support provided under the Community-Based Health Research Grant Scheme (2024–2025) was instrumental in enabling fieldwork, data collection, and analytical processes throughout the study. The sponsor’s commitment to advancing culturally responsive health promotion initiatives greatly contributed to the successful completion of this research. The authors also acknowledge the agency’s administrative support, which facilitated ethical clearance and logistical coordination in rural research areas. This study would not have been possible without the sponsor’s continued encouragement of academic efforts aimed at enhancing local health systems. All interpretations and conclusions presented in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the sponsor.
