This study identifies the problems faced by the LHWs during the implementation of early 100 detection and monitoring activities of iodized salt usage. It is a Qualitative research method using focus group discussionlFGO with 10 LHWs involved and conducted in Temanggung Regency.
The results analyzed in the form of descriptive narrative. One of the problem faced by LHWs was the difficulty in interpreting medical terms of early 100 detection in the instrument used. Another problem is the the participants' sense of inferiority when they have to meet with parents who have higher education. Sense of inferiority made the participants to be hesitant and less confident to examine the baby Participants' reliance on midwives is quite high to conduct early 100 deteciion. Conelusion: Lay health worker play an important role in supporting 100 control program and has the potential to be empowered. Skills and confidence of LHWs still needs to be improved.
