Abstract

Nutritional status of thin, short, and fat that is high enough indicates food intake that is still unbalanced. Children's food intake is influenced by diet, when food supply, physical activity, and snack habits. One of the efforts to reduce the consumption of risky foods (instant snacks) is the implementation of the IEC program (communication, education, and information). The type of research used is observational with a descriptive approach and the sampling techniques used are simple random sampling and purposive sampling. The entire study population was mothers living in Bontona hamlet, Kanreapia village, Tombolo Pao District, Gowa Regency, totalling 32 respondents. In the implementation of the program, the results of increasing maternal knowledge were obtained after counselling activities on excessive consumption of risky foods (instant snacks) in children aged 2-10 years. Through this activity, it is hoped that mothers can practice the knowledge they have in parenting, especially the practice of providing nutritious food

Abstract

Previous studies have highlighted a persistent high prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in rural areas, often attributed to inadequate nutritional intake and limited access to health interventions, yet few have rigorously evaluated targeted supplementation programs in this context. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the iron supplementation program (Tablet Tambah Darah/TTD) in increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing anemia prevalence among adolescent girls in the Somba Opu health center area, Gowa. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest approach was employed, involving adolescent girls aged 12–18 years. The intervention consisted of routine iron supplementation and education on healthy dietary and lifestyle practices. The results demonstrated a substantial decrease in anemia prevalence: among junior high school students, anemia rates declined from 48.10% in 2023 to 26.50% in 2024, and among senior high school students, from 41.60% to 26.10% over the same period. These findings indicate that the TTD program significantly contributed to improved hemoglobin levels and reduced anemia rates in the target population. The implications underscore the importance of structured supplementation and health education programs for adolescent girls in rural settings to address nutritional deficiencies and promote overall well-being.
