There are several causes of gout, including changes in diet, consumption of drugs, and alcohol consumption. The purpose of implementing this community service activity is to provide education to the community in Bercak Village and to check uric acid levels. Methods: Based on the team's observations on several residents in Bercak Village, it was found that most residents did not have sufficient knowledge about gout and did not carry out routine health checks.
