Abstract

Teenagers are often classified as a group that is always healthy away from risk factors for illness, but many health problems suffered by adolescents due to behavioral factors that can actually be prevented. Teenagers are faced with complex problems related to physical, psychological and emotional changes that cause teens to experience health problems. Some health problems that often occur are nutrition and reproductive health. Prevention can be done if students make early detection of nutritional problems and adolescent reproductive health problems with the support of the environment both at home and at school. The obstacle that often occurs in schools is a fairly large comparison between the number of health service providers and the number of students in school. The role of adolescent health cadres to help adolescents be more comfortable discussing about nutrition and adolescent reproductive health issues. In connection with these problems, community service programs provide solutions to improve students' knowledge of adolescent nutritional status and early detection of adolescent reproductive health problems through training and mentoring of adolescent health cadres.
