This activity aimed to provide education on evidence-based food types for cancer prevention to the residents of RT 08 RW 07, Tomang Subdistrict, Grogol Petamburan District, West Jakarta. The program was implemented through lectures, interactive discussions, and healthy menu simulations, supported by educational leaflets. The materials covered an overview of cancer, the role of nutrition in cancer prevention, recommended and avoidable foods, and practical tips on reading nutrition labels. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests to measure participants’ knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge with an average N-Gain score of 67%, categorized as moderately effective. Furthermore, participants’ active engagement during discussions and simulations indicated high interest in the information delivered.
