Abstract

Reproductive health education in secondary schools is very important considering the increasing rate of teenage pregnancy and the low knowledge of reproductive health among adolescents. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of reproductive health education programs implemented in these schools. This study aims to identify the materials taught, teaching methods used, as well as students' responses and perceptions of the reproductive health education program. The methods used in this study include in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with 60 students from three secondary schools in X city. Data were collected over two months and analyzed to find relevant patterns and themes. Findings showed that the education program improved students' knowledge of reproductive health, but there were challenges such as social stigma and variations in the quality of teaching. Students reported increased confidence and better understanding of reproductive health topics. Reproductive health education programs in secondary schools have significant potential to improve adolescent understanding, but improvements in materials, teaching methods, and social environmental support are needed to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health concern, particularly in rural areas where socio-economic and environmental factors exacerbate the problem. This study aims to analyze the risk factors contributing to stunting in early childhood and propose effective prevention strategies tailored to rural contexts. Utilizing a descriptive-analytic approach with a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 300 households through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and direct observations. Logistic regression analysis identified maternal education, household income, dietary diversity, and sanitation access as critical determinants of stunting. Qualitative data highlighted economic pressures and limited nutritional knowledge as additional barriers. The findings emphasize the importance of integrated, community-driven interventions focusing on maternal education, exclusive breastfeeding, and improved sanitation. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive framework for addressing stunting in rural areas and offers actionable recommendations for policymakers and community stakeholders. Future studies should explore the long-term impact of these interventions and the role of cultural dynamics in sustaining their effectiveness.
