<![CDATA[An Nur Junior High School is located in Gogik Village, East Ungaran District, Semarang Regency. According to a survey we conducted, adolescent girls—our primary focus group—have not previously received information regarding self-awareness (self-efficacy) in stunting prevention, nor have they been educated on the use of iron supplements, commonly referred to as “beautiful pills,” as a preventive measure. These young women have yet to be exposed to educational efforts aimed at utilizing beautiful pills to reduce the risk of stunting.Adolescent girls were chosen as the main target group because they represent future mothers who will bear the next generation, making it crucial that they are equipped with the knowledge and understanding necessary to prevent stunting. Community involvement is essential to effectively implement and promote the use of beautiful pills among this demographic.This initiative was carried out through an educational approach involving 35 female students from An Nur Junior High School. Prior to the educational session, an assessment of participants' understanding showed that 35.47% had low awareness, 28.54% had a moderate level of understanding, 30.12% demonstrated good understanding, and only 5.87% fell into the very good category. After the educational intervention, there was a marked improvement: 40.14% of participants reached the excellent category, 52.01% showed good understanding, 5.33% were categorized as sufficient, and only 2.62% remained with low understanding. Based on the post-education questionnaire, overall comprehension of the material increased by 97.48%. ABSTRAK SMP An Nur merupakan salah satu Sekolah Menengah Pertama yang berlokasi di Desa Gogik, Kecamatan Ungaran Timur, Kabupaten Semarang. Berdasarkan survei yang telah kami lakukan terhadap mitra sasaran, yaitu remaja putri, diketahui bahwa mereka belum pernah memperoleh informasi mengenai kesadaran diri (self-efficacy) dalam mencegah stunting serta pemanfaatan pil tambah darah (dikenal juga sebagai pil cantik) sebagai salah satu langkah pencegahan stunting. Hingga saat ini, edukasi mengenai penggunaan pil cantik sebagai bagian dari upaya pencegahan stunting belum pernah diberikan kepada mereka. Remaja putri menjadi kelompok sasaran utama karena di masa depan mereka akan berperan sebagai ibu yang melahirkan generasi penerus, sehingga penting bagi mereka untuk memiliki pengetahuan dan pemahaman yang memadai mengenai penyebab serta langkah-langkah pencegahan stunting. Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut, diperlukan dukungan dari masyarakat dalam mengimplementasikan penggunaan pil cantik secara efektif di kalangan remaja putri. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan melalui metode edukasi yang menyasar remaja putri di SMP An Nur Ungaran, dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 35 orang. Hasil evaluasi sebelum dilakukan edukasi menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman peserta masih rendah, dengan rincian: 35,47% tergolong kurang paham, 28,54% cukup paham, 30,12% memahami dengan baik, dan hanya 5,87% yang sangat paham. Setelah dilakukan edukasi, terjadi peningkatan signifikan, di mana 40,14% peserta masuk dalam kategori sangat baik, 52,01% baik, 5,33% cukup, dan hanya 2,62% yang masih kurang. Berdasarkan kuesioner evaluasi, terjadi peningkatan pemahaman peserta terhadap materi edukasi sebesar 97,48%.]]>
