Abstract

Previous studies have highlighted a persistent high prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in rural areas, often attributed to inadequate nutritional intake and limited access to health interventions, yet few have rigorously evaluated targeted supplementation programs in this context. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the iron supplementation program (Tablet Tambah Darah/TTD) in increasing hemoglobin levels and reducing anemia prevalence among adolescent girls in the Somba Opu health center area, Gowa. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest approach was employed, involving adolescent girls aged 12–18 years. The intervention consisted of routine iron supplementation and education on healthy dietary and lifestyle practices. The results demonstrated a substantial decrease in anemia prevalence: among junior high school students, anemia rates declined from 48.10% in 2023 to 26.50% in 2024, and among senior high school students, from 41.60% to 26.10% over the same period. These findings indicate that the TTD program significantly contributed to improved hemoglobin levels and reduced anemia rates in the target population. The implications underscore the importance of structured supplementation and health education programs for adolescent girls in rural settings to address nutritional deficiencies and promote overall well-being.

Abstract

Although community education is increasingly used to improve solid waste practices, evidence from rural Indonesian villages remains limited, and few programs combine Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) with rapid pre–post evaluation; this initiative addresses that gap by testing a community-based educational program in Balocci Baru Village, Pangkep Regency, Indonesia. The program, entitled “Smart Waste Management, Smart Environmental Stewardship,” aimed to strengthen community knowledge and understanding of proper, responsible, and sustainable waste management to reduce environmental contamination and downstream public health risks. Using a participatory PRA approach, educational sessions were delivered to 22 participants (community members, health cadres, and local leaders) and evaluated through pre-test and post-test measurements. Visual reinforcement tools (posters and informational boards) were integrated to support comprehension and recall. Post-intervention results indicated a clear improvement in knowledge distribution, with no participants remaining in the low-knowledge category. Statistical testing using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test confirmed a significant increase in knowledge scores (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that participatory, visually supported education can be an effective entry point for community-driven waste management in rural settings, with potential adaptation for peri-urban and urban neighborhoods where waste generation and exposure pathways differ but behavior change remains central to environmental health promotion.

Abstract

Early childhood environmental interventions increasingly promote waste-disposal habits, yet limited community-based programs have combined teacher modeling, child-friendly waste infrastructure, and multidimensional behavioral assessment among preschool children. This community engagement program aimed to improve teachers’ waste-disposal behavior and modeling capacity while strengthening preschool children’s positive waste-disposal development in six kindergartens in Makassar and Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A Participatory Action Research approach was applied through advocacy, focus group discussions, instrument assessment, enumerator training, baseline measurement, teacher-modeling training, school-based mentoring, post-intervention assessment, reflection, and program revision. Twelve teachers participated in the training, and each school received segregated waste bins for organic, inorganic, and hazardous waste with color-coded labels and visual illustrations. Teachers demonstrated significant improvements in modeling ability, knowledge, attitudes, and practices after the intervention, with all Wilcoxon signed-rank test results showing p < 0.001. Preschool children also showed significant improvements in cognitive, language, motor, social, and affective domains, with posttest scores exceeding pretest scores across all participating schools. The findings indicate that teacher modeling supported by accessible waste-disposal facilities can serve as a practical school-based environmental-health intervention for establishing positive habits during early childhood.
