<![CDATA[Hypertension is a growing health problem in adolescents and is closely related to unhealthy lifestyle changes, such as lack of physical activity, high-salt food consumption, stress, and irregular sleep patterns. The low knowledge of adolescents about hypertension prevention is one factor that worsens this condition. This community service activity aims to improve adolescents’ knowledge about hypertension prevention from an early age. Health education with a group-based life skills improvement approach, implemented on 19 students of SMK Bina Taqwa Cisalak, Depok City. The evaluation was conducted using a pretest and posttest to measure the level of knowledge of the respondents. Most respondents had sufficient (42.1%) and poor (26.3%) knowledge before the intervention. After the intervention, knowledge increased to 89.5% in the good category, and no longer were any respondents in the poor category. Health education through group processes is effective in improving adolescents’ knowledge about hypertensive prevention. This method can be recommended as a health promotion strategy to prevent hypertension in school environments from an early age]]>
