Abstract

The high prevalence of child marriage remains a significant health and social issue that contributes to increased risks of dropout, teenage pregnancy, stunting, reproductive health disorders, as well as psychosocial and family economic problems. The KASTUNIK (Youth Cadres Ready to Delay Marriage) program was introduced as an innovative empowerment initiative for Youth Posyandu cadres through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, role play, and peer mentoring conducted over four meetings in May 2025, supported by booklet media to enhance the capacity of youth Posyandu cadres in educating adolescents about child marriage prevention. The participants consisted of 30 youth Posyandu cadres selected based on the criteria of being active in youth activities, aged 13–15 years, having good communication skills, and willing to participate in the entire series of activities. Evaluation was conducted using pretests and posttests to measure changes in the cadres’ knowledge and skills related to reproductive health and marriage age maturity. The analysis of changes before and after the intervention was performed by comparing the mean pretest and posttest scores. The strength of KASTUNIK lies in its interactive, community-based peer education approach, which is practical, easily implemented, and sustainable in supporting child marriage prevention.
