Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Comprehensive sexual education can equip individuals with knowledge about condom use, hygiene of sexual equipment, and other risk reduction strategies. Additionally, understanding the importance of HIV testing and counseling can encourage routine testing behavior, allowing individuals to manage risks and engage in safer sexual practices. Video-based health information outreach activities related to HIV-AIDS prevention were held at SMA Negeri 4 Pangkajene and Islands, using several methods, namely the first stage method of distributing brochures to teenagers about HIV/AIDS education, the second stage, health education related to preventing HIV disease. The third stage is filling out questionnaires to teenagers regarding HIV-AIDS prevention. The results of measuring the knowledge of students at SMA Negeri 4 Pangkep showed that the average level of knowledge before the counseling was carried out was 65.00% good knowledge and 35.00% poor knowledge. Meanwhile, the average level of knowledge after counseling was found to be good knowledge of 98.00%, and poor knowledge of 2.00%. Health education media about HIV/AIDS can increase students' knowledge regarding preventing HIV/AIDS. It is important to increase knowledge about HIV-AIDS and the role of the media in the form of leaflets, videos, television, newspapers and the internet in disseminating information about HIV-AIDS to teenagers, so that stigma and discrimination against PLWHA can be minimized
