Abstract
Preventing Anemia Through Regular Iron Supplement Intake
Anemia is a significant public health issue, particularly among adolescent girls, with a high prevalence in Makassar. Low hemoglobin levels and a lack of understanding about healthy dietary practices are the main causes of anemia, requiring effective interventions to prevent and address this condition. Objective: This community service activity aimed to enhance the knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia, the importance of consuming iron supplements, and preventive measures through community-based education. Methods: The activity was conducted using interactive lectures supported by presentation media, Q&A sessions to clarify misunderstood information, a group iron supplement consumption practice, and the distribution of educational leaflets as additional guidelines. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess participants' knowledge improvement. Outputs: The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge, with 43.33% categorized as having good knowledge before the session, rising to 90% after the session. Participants also showed high enthusiasm during the activity through active engagement in discussions and direct practice. Conclusion: This educational program successfully improved adolescent girls' knowledge and awareness of anemia and its prevention, motivating them to adopt preventive measures through regular consumption of iron supplements.
