ABSTRACT

A preliminary study conducted in Wanajaya Village in June 2025, through interviews with ten adolescent girls, revealed that many of them frequently experienced symptoms during menstruation. These included irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and shortness of breath. To relieve these discomforts, most reported relying on iron supplements, getting sufficient rest, and increasing fluid intake.The primary factors contributing to anemia among adolescent girls were identified as poor dietary habits, inadequate nutritional status, and menstrual cycles. Anemia not only weakens the immune system but also increases vulnerability to various health issues. This condition requires serious attention, as it is linked to greater risks of maternal mortality, preterm birth, and low birth weight (LBW). Alarmingly, anemia continues to be a major public health concern in many developing countries, including Indonesia and Bangladesh. This program was designed as a concrete effort to provide practical solutions for preventing and addressing anemia among adolescent girls. Anemia remains one of the most common health issues in this age group, largely due to insufficient intake of essential nutrients such as iron and vitamin C, both of which play a vital role in the production of hemoglobin. The lecture method was supported by various media tools, including instructional videos and posters demonstrating how to prepare tomato and guava juice, as well as leaflets and PowerPoint presentations that complemented the material delivered during the community service program. During the activity, the adolescent girls gained a clear understanding of the importance of consuming tomato and guava juice. The evaluation phase was carried out in May 2025, targeting those who had already incorporated these juices into their diet. As part of the assessment, their hemoglobin (Hb) levels were re-checked to monitor any improvements. The adolescent girls gained broader knowledge and deeper awareness of the benefits of consuming tomato and guava juice for their health.
