ABSTRACT

Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in adolescent girls/women are young women/women who experience malnutrition (calories and protein) that lasts for a long time or are chronic. Based on the results of the 2018 Riskesdas, the incidence of CED in adolescent girls is 33.5%. Data from Riskesdas South Kalimantan has the highest number of CED in the category of adolescents (15-19 years) as many as 41.24% in pregnant women and 38.27% in women who are not pregnant. Based on the preliminary survey, there were 58.3% of adolescents in Aluh-aluh District experienced CED. The target partners of PKM activities are students of SMAN 1 Aluh-aluh. Based on the survey results and discussions with partners, there are several problems faced by partners, namely they have never monitored their nutritional status and have low knowledge of balanced nutrition. The method of implementing the service is to provide nutrition-aware youth education online by means of discussions using ebooklet media about balanced nutrition and CED and online quizzes about balanced nutrition. Based on the results of the evaluation, there was an increase in the knowledge of SMAN 1 Aluh-aluh students about balanced nutrition and CED. A total of 62% increased, 20% decreased and 18% remained. Recommendations to the school are to carry out educational activities about balanced nutrition and CED on a regular basis to increase adolescent knowledge and be able to apply it in order to prevent CED from occurring.
