<![CDATA[Anemia is a public health problem that can reduce work capacity, cognitive function, productivity, and quality of life, particularly among productive-age adults. Early detection through hemoglobin screening is essential to identify individuals at risk and support preventive and health promotion efforts. This community service activity aimed to describe hemoglobin levels as an early detection measure for anemia among productive-age adults. The activity was implemented using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach, which included needs assessment and program preparation (Plan), hemoglobin screening and health education (Do), evaluation of screening results (Check), and provision of follow-up recommendations to participants (Act). A total of 45 participants underwent hemoglobin assessment using a simple screening method. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented as mean, median, frequency, and percentage. The mean age of participants was 34.69 ± 9.05 years, with females accounting for the majority of participants (36 individuals; 80.0%). The mean hemoglobin level was 14.51 ± 1.46 g/dL, with a median of 14.40 g/dL and a range of 9.60–16.90 g/dL. Most participants had normal hemoglobin levels (42 individuals; 93.3%), while anemia was identified in 3 participants (6.7%). These findings indicate that the overall hemoglobin status of the participants was generally good, although anemia was still detected in a small proportion of the population. Community-based hemoglobin screening using the PDCA approach was effective in supporting the early detection of anemia. Continuous education on balanced nutrition and adequate iron intake is recommended to prevent anemia and promote community health.]]>
