It may help address gaps in identifying issues occurring outside health facilities or linked to social stigma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This embedded mixed-methods study aimed to identify factors contributing to an effective community-based surveillance system for maternal and child health. Quantitative data on knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and stigma were collected through interviewer-assisted questionnaires in 300 households. Qualitative insights into barriers and opportunities for detecting, reporting, and monitoring maternal and child health issues were obtained through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Participants included public officials, community leaders, medical staff, and social workers. All data were collected across three subdistricts in Depok.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The household survey revealed that 22.5%, 24.1%, and 15.1% of respondents lacked knowledge of warning signs during pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care, respectively. Men were less knowledgeable (34.2%, 35.2%, 23.2%) than women (10.7%, 12.9%, 7.0%). Most respondents (98%) supported community-based health monitoring. Thematic analysis unveiled barriers such as the high mobility of migrant families, inadequate capacity of health volunteers, stigma, delayed healthcare responses, and reluctance among families with middle-to-high socioeconomic status. Alternatively, opportunities included positive community perceptions of surveillance, ongoing community empowerment activities, active roles of health volunteers, potential stakeholder collaboration, and digital communication channels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Public health education primarily targeting men is indispensable to enhancing their awareness of maternal and child health issues. Addressing identified barriers and leveraging opportunities could establish a sustainable and well-received community-based surveillance system, crucial for ensuring the health of mothers and children.<\/jats:p>\n
