PENYULUHAN EDUKASI ANEMIA DAN PERNIKAHAN DINI (PEDA-PEDI) MELALUI BUKU SAKU

Abstract

Educational Counseling on Anemia and Early Marriage (PEDA-PEDI) to adolescents at Cadas Ngampar Elementary School, Cirebon City was carried out due to the high rate of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls and early marriage which contributes to the problem of stunting. The method used was counseling with the PEDA-PEDI pocket book media. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm from participants and increased understanding of the definition, causes, symptoms, impacts, and prevention of anemia and early marriage. This program is expected to increase adolescent awareness of the importance of reproductive health and prevent the negative impacts of anemia and early marriage on future generations. The service team recommends similar counseling activities with more adequate health examination equipment for more optimal preventive measures.
