By using In-depth interviews, we observed and then developed materials that were required by women of reproductive age and health workers and they consisted of 10 topics. Our Focus Group Discussion has come out with the need to grouping the materials into 4 groups (pillars). We then validated our booklet material by using Expert review. Finally, our response test showed that 96% of respondents agree that booklet material is easy to understand, 90% of respondents agree that booklets are interesting to read, 93% of respondents agree that booklet material is relevant to their condition, 90% of respondents agree that the material in the booklet is the material it needs, 86% of respondents agree that the material in this booklet can help with their health problems, 80% of respondents agree that the choice of words in the booklet is easy to understand, 90% of respondents agree that the cover of the booklet is very interesting, 100 respondents agree that the font of the letters in the booklet is easy to read, 80% of respondents agreed that the illustrations relevant with the materials.
