Abstract

The high prevalence of early marriage in Indonesia, exacerbated by suboptimal implementation of regulations, poses significant negative psychological, health, social, and economic impacts on children. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of the community in Tanjung Medang Village, Muara Enim Regency, regarding the impacts and importance of preventing early marriage. Implemented through an initial assessment, comprehensive education on the sociological perspective of early marriage impacts, and a post-intervention evaluation, the program demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge. Pre-test scores, initially at 70%, rose to 97% in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of the socialization. This enhanced understanding is expected to form a foundation for collective efforts by the community and local government to reduce the rate of early marriage for the future well-being of children.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes, making comprehensive knowledge about sexuality crucial to mitigate the risks of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and other high-risk sexual behaviors. This community engagement initiative (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PkM) aimed to educate adolescents in Bakung Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, on the dangers and consequences of risky sexual behavior. The intervention was delivered through a series of village-based lectures and educational sessions. Pre- and post-test assessments revealed a substantial improvement in participants' knowledge, with scores increasing from an average of 60% in the pre-test to 96% in the post-test. These findings underscore the effectiveness of service learning in enhancing adolescent understanding and awareness, contributing to the prevention of risky sexual practices in rural settings.
