Background: Plagiarism and low digital literacy are academic integrity challenges in the era of technological disruption, including among public health students. Easy access to generative artificial intelligence without adequate understanding of proper citation increases the risk of academic ethics violations. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate changes in students' Turnitin similarity scores before and after an educational intervention based on micro-learning integrated with the digitalization of an academic ethics SOP via QR code. Methods: This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 153 students from three regular classes (C, E, F) in the Public Health Study Program, FKM UHO. Similarity scores were compared before and after intervention using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Results showed a decrease in mean similarity score from 51.0% (SD 15.5) to 14.8% (SD 4.5), a relative reduction of 71.0% (p Value <0.001; d=2.30), consistent across all three classes (66.4–76.6%). Conclusion: There was an association between the micro-learning intervention and reduced plagiarism indication, although the absence of a control group limits causal inference.
