Abstract

This condition poses a risk of decreased learning concentration, productivity, and future reproductive health. This activity aims to increase adolescent girls' knowledge and awareness about anemia through informal discussions as a communicative educational approach. The activity was conducted with 15 adolescent girls in RW 06, Tanah Baru Village, Cimahpar District, North Bogor Regency. The method used was interactive education through informal discussions, material delivery, and a question-and-answer session. Evaluation was conducted qualitatively through participant observation and participant understanding. The activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of anemia, its causes, symptoms, and prevention. The informal discussions proved effective in increasing active participant participation. This aligns with previous research and community service findings, which indicate that increased knowledge is significantly associated with a reduced risk of anemia.
