Abstract

Objectives. This study developed a comprehensive sexual education model to reduce unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, and improve adolescents' knowledge and life skills. Materials and Methods. This study involved 35 participants, consisting of 20 adolescents (12-19 years old) and 15 educators (25-50 years old) from 3 schools. Qualitative research method was chosen to explore experiences and views related to the integration of reproductive health in sexual education. The sample was selected by purposive sampling, and data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Data were analysed using thematic techniques to identify patterns and themes from the interviews and observations. Results. The results of the analysis showed that before the implementation of the sexual education model, adolescents had limited and inconsistent knowledge about reproductive health. After four months of implementation, many adolescents reported increased understanding and confidence in protecting themselves. Some students considered the materials too formal and experienced problems accessing information outside of school. Educators rated the curriculum as effective but faced challenges in addressing student discomfort and resource limitations. Students felt more open and comfortable, but wanted more discussion and practice. Teachers and facilitators suggested improving the curriculum, materials and training. Conclusion. Comprehensive sexual education programmes increase students' knowledge, but require development of interactions, policy support, and teacher training. Keywords. Reproductive Health, Sexual Education and Adolescents

Abstract

This community service program addressed persistent nutritional problems among vulnerable groups by strengthening knowledge and practical skills related to complementary feeding using local food sources. The activity aimed to enhance community awareness and behavioral readiness in preventing stunting through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The program was implemented in [insert location] and involved approximately 50 participants, including pregnant women, mothers of children under five, adolescent girls, and community health volunteers. Educational sessions were combined with a hands-on cooking demonstration of a locally adapted complementary food, Kue Lumpur, enriched with milkfish (Chanos chanos), moringa leaves, and pumpkin to increase nutrient density. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate changes in participants’ knowledge. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement, indicated by a marked increase in the proportion of participants achieving the “good” knowledge category and a notable reduction in the “poor” category. These findings show that the integration of clinical nutrition education with practical food preparation effectively enhances comprehension and promotes healthier feeding practices. Overall, the program highlights the potential of community-driven, participatory approaches to support stunting prevention efforts at the grassroots level.
