Abstract

Adolescence is a transition between childhood and adulthood where psychological, physical and human reproductive organ changes occur, which is called puberty. Teenagers need serious attention because they are vulnerable to reproductive health problems, namely premarital sex, drugs and HIV/AIDS and are curious about trying various things, including being active in dating. Based on in-depth observations and interviews, there are still many teenagers who do not know about premarital reproductive and sexual health. Therefore, health education activities are carried out with the aim of increasing adolescent knowledge about the importance of adolescent knowledge about premarital sex. The extension method applied is using Leaflet, talk and face-to-face discussions. Outreach results showed that the majority of teenagers' knowledge about premarital sex before counseling activities was poor, 11 people (50.4.5%) and 10 people (40.6%) good. After carrying out premarital sexual counseling activities, there was an increase in knowledge where 17 respondents had good knowledge (80.95%). So it can be concluded that reproductive health education activities have an influence on teenagers' knowledge about premarital sex.
