Abstract

This community service activity was carried out with the aim of increasing adolescents' understanding of reproductive health and the dangers of early marriage through interactive counseling. The activity was carried out in Gunung Pancar Village, Bogor Regency, with a primary target of 60 adolescents aged 13–18 years. The activity methods included providing material using visual media, group discussions, and evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The material presented covered basic concepts of reproductive health, the medical and social impacts of early marriage, and the importance of future planning. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in knowledge: the "good" knowledge category increased from 25% (before counseling) to 65% (after counseling), while the "poor" category decreased from 30% to just 5%.
