Abstract

Nutritional status is a measure of success in balancing the needs and fulfillment of children's nutrition, as indicated by the weight and height of children based on their age (Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, n.d.). Malnutrition is a serious condition in which a person's food intake does not match the nutrients they need. The 2018 Global Nutrition Report shows that Indonesia is among 17 countries that have three nutrition problems at once, called multiple nutrition problems. These include stunting, wasting, and overweight (obesity) (Global Nutrition Report, 2018). The most common nutritional problem in Indonesia is undernutrition. Children under five years old (0–5 years) are the age group that most often suffers from malnutrition or is one of the groups of people who are vulnerable to nutrition. The most decisive intervention in reducing the prevalence of stunting is in the first 1000 days of life of the child, or before the age of 2 years, because the growth of children aged 2-3 years has slowed down so that the process of catching up at this age has a smaller chance than the age of 6–24 months (Kusuma, 2013; TNP2K, 2017). The form of efforts made to prevent and overcome malnutrition in children is by providing counseling related to child growth and development and balanced nutrition in children to increase mothers' knowledge related to growth and development and balanced nutrition. This activity began by approaching partners to determine the date and process of activities planned for June 16, 2023, at the Teratai Putih Posyandu, Paseban Village, Senen District.

Abstract

Background: adolescents require accurate reproductive health information to support healthy physical and psychosocial development. However, misconceptions and limited access to age-appropriate education remain common. Situation analysis: students at SMP “X”, South Tangerang, demonstrated varying levels of knowledge regarding puberty, menstruation, nocturnal emissions, personal hygiene, and reproductive health. Problem: inadequate reproductive health literacy may increase adolescents' vulnerability to unhealthy behaviors and misconceptions during puberty. Solution: A school-based community engagement program was conducted using interactive educational strategies, including audiovisual presentations, educational videos, group discussions, and Kahoot based quizzes. The sessions were delivered separately for male and female students to facilitate open discussion of gender-specific topics. Results: A total of 116 students participated in the program. Knowledge improved in both groups, with a mean increase of 37.6% among male students and 38.0% among female students. Female participants also demonstrated a high prevalence of menarche and dysmenorrhea, highlighting the importance of menstrual health education. Conclusion: Interactive, school based reproductive health education effectively improved adolescents' knowledge and engagement. Integrating age-appropriate reproductive health education into routine school health programs may strengthen adolescents' health literacy and promote healthier behaviors.
