Currently, the Indonesian people are experiencing a degradation in their choice of staple food variants, which means that there is a narrowing of choices for the Indonesian people's staple food for rice. This study aims to formulate a health communication strategy through empowering housewives in the city of Makassar to increase the consumption of healthy staple foods, especially from non-rice food ingredients. This research is a qualitative research. The informants are young housewives in Makassar City who were selected by purposive sampling. Primary data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews and observations by exploring the social context of the existence of rice as a staple food for the informants, which would then become the material for an effective communication model in order to promote non-rice food ingredients. Data analysis was carried out in four main stages, namely context search, problem diagnosis activities, evaluation, and formulation of strategies for policies related to health communication that have an impact on food security. The results showed that young housewives thought the main staple food was rice and objected to having to replace it with non-rice staple food. This is because there is a social construct that “hasn't eaten” if you haven't eaten rice. Young housewives know the dangers of consuming excessive rice, but there is no awareness from them to replace the staple food of rice with other staple foods.

Children who are exposed to secondhand smoke from their parents are more at risk of suffering fromvascular and heart health problems in the future, besides that smoking behavior in fathers also causeslow nutritional status in smokers' families. Stopping smoking is very difficult, so smoking away fromchildren is one solution that can be offered to keep children from being exposed to cigarette smoke butfathers can still smoke through a process of communication between partners. The purpose of the studywas to determine the effectiveness of wife assertive communication as a form of social support for thefather's smoking behavior outside the home. The research conducted was research with intervention inthe form of assertive communication training on wives. The location of the study was conducted in theFisherman Village in Bulukumba District, South Sulawesi. Therefore communication in an assertive wayis considered important to do so that the father also does not feel disturbed "pleasure" when smoking.The sample is the wife of the fishermen who will be given assertive knowledge or techniques totaling 26people. The wife was chosen to be the target of intervention because the female partner would moreeasily influence his male partner in changing his negative behavior. All statistical tests on the pre-testand post-test assertive communication training, and pre-test and post-test intense daddy smokingoutside the home were conducted with non-parametric test methods taking into account the number ofsamples n = <30. % of the significance assumption of 5%. The results of the study conducted showedthat assertive communication given to fishermen's wives had not provided the ability for mothers toassert communication with their fathers to reduce smoking at home. ((Mdn = 24.50) in the pre-test and(Mdn = 23.50) in the post-test, in the post-test, ɀ = -0.446, p <0.5; r = -0.152). This is because thelanguage of the material uses the language of "science" which is not understood because of the loweducation of the fishermen and the fairly short intervention time. The conclusion of the study showedthat there was no increase in changes in assertive communication skills in the intervention subjects(mothers) after being given treatment or assertive communication training interventions. In terms ofknowledge, the intervention subject gets a better understanding, but the skills or skills to makecommunication are still inadequate. Nevertheless, the social control function of the family in terms ofchanging smoking behavior must be fixed and continuously improved by providing the ability to "dare"to provide health information to their partners. Suggestion: Assertive communication training needs tobe followed up by health workers to limit the smoking behavior of fathers in the home which are alsogiven to health cadres and empowerment workers in the village, which is supported by the causes ofmedia coverage for health communication.Keywords: Assertive communication, social support, smoking behavior
