Abstract: This community service aims to raise awareness among adolescent girls and parents about the importance of iron nutrient intake through health education, the development of TTD consumption reminder tools, and encouraging routine Hb checks, with a target of reducing anemia incidence by 30% within six months. The methods used in this community service included counseling, demonstrations, and the formation of an anemia-aware youth community. Monitoring and evaluation of the activities were conducted through the distribution and checking of TTD consumption compliance cards, as well as checking Hb levels in adolescent girls. The results of this community service showed an increase in average knowledge among adolescents from 16.27 to 17.33 regarding anemia prevention behaviors, and adolescents can prepare food models according to the "isi piringku" guidelines. There was a significant difference in Hb measurements before and after providing the TTD consumption compliance card, increasing from 11.51 mg/dl to 12.46 mg/dl. The anemia-aware youth community had been established, and there was an increase in average knowledge among PKK mothers from 68.3 to 86.3. To further reduce the incidence of anemia in Ngemplak Village, it is hoped that adolescents will actively participate in the anemia-aware community formed in collaboration with the village midwife.
