Worm infection, especially caused by the Taenia solium tapeworm (taeniasis), is still found in Indonesia until today. The largest prevalence of taeniasis in Bali Province is located in Karangasem Regency. Taeniasis can occur if residents consume pork infected with Taenia solium, one of which is Balinese food namely red lawar. Karangasem residents who are still strong with the tradition of eating red lawar have a high risk of experiencing taeniasis if the process of making red lawar is not done properly. The education program for the residents is designed to prevent worm infection due to improper making process. The method applied is to provide insight into health science about taeniasis and how to make worm-free red lawar. The results showed that the program attracts residents’ attention, is able to be followed, and can be understood by the residents. This program has also been recommended to the village head to become a new habit in the making of red lawar. Keywords: Worm infection, Education, Red lawar, Residents, Taeniasis.
