Breaking the chain of leprosy transmission requires various ways, especially by increasing knowledge of leprosy prevention through health education. Although several studies have mentioned the effectiveness of health education, there is still uncertainty about the best method to use. Therefore, the review question should be answered: what forms of health education have been developed about Leprosy in the community? This review study complies with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) version 2020. The search for relevant literature involved PubMed, ScienceDirect, ERIC, Cochrane, and ProQuest databases for the studies published in the 2000 to 2023 period with the inclusion criteria such as increasing knowledge, changing attitudes and behavior, and increasing positive stigma. The quality of the study was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program, and the Risk of Bias using the Cochrane RoB tool. Overall search on databases resulted in a total of 184,681 articles. Only six studies were eligible to be included in this review. Various educational methods were used in the eligible studies, including MH Mobile, the myth or truth on Leprosy game, posters, leaflets, community meetings, tele-education the&nbsp;web, discussion lists, chats, activity diaries, iconographic 3D videos, classes on video streaming, video conference, case simulation, lecture, and the contact intervention (education, testimonies (direct contact), videos, and comics). All of the methods used had the potential to improve knowledge, attitude, and practice and reduce negative stigma regarding Leprosy. There is no method of health education superior to another on Leprosy prevention.</p>
