Health Promotion Edugame Media "Healthy Snacks" for Elementary School Students
The nutritional needs of school-age children increase with physical activity and rapid growth, yet many children do not consume a balanced, nutritious diet. One reason is the habit of consuming unhealthy snacks, which are generally low in nutrients and high in sugar, salt, and fat. This activity aims to increase elementary school students' knowledge about healthy and nutritious snacks through interactive, game-based education (edugame). The activity design included providing education to students and teachers, accompanied by pre-tests and post-tests to measure the level of knowledge. Initial observations showed that the types of snacks sold around the school consisted of wet snacks, dry snacks, and packaged drinks with varying nutritional qualities. After education through edugame media, there was an increase in student knowledge as indicated by an increase in the average score from 65,0 (sufficient category) to 73,2 (good category), with a difference of 8,2 points. Based on the classification of knowledge levels, before education, 25% of students were in the good category, 46,3% were sufficient, and 28,7% were poor. After the activity, the proportion of students in the good category increased to 47,5%, while the fair category decreased to 40% and the poor category to 12,5%. These results indicate that the edugame method is effective in improving students' understanding of the concept of healthy snacks. It is recommended that schools integrate this educational activity into thematic learning or extracurricular activities, and collaborate with relevant agencies such as community health centers or health departments to support the program's sustainability.

Adolescent Education for Weight Monitoring, Nutritional Status and Physical Activity
Malnutrition and overnutrition are nutritional problems that occur among adolescents in Indonesia. Various factors contribute to these nutritional problems, including limited access to information and low levels of knowledge among adolescents. Lack of knowledge and its implementation in preventing nutritional problems is also experienced in Kampar. Adolescents need to be socialized with the 4 pillars of the Balanced Nutrition Guidelines (PGS) which can be used as guidelines for eating, physical activity, clean living, and maintaining ideal body weight. This community service aimed to form a positive and active attitude to monitor body weight and nutritional status regularly and do physical activity regularly. The activities were carried out in the form of counseling in lectures and discussions using booklet media and adolescent nutritional status assessment tool. Anthropometric measurements were conducted on adolescent boys and girls with a total of 29 people. The counseling resulted in an increase in low physical activity from 48,3% to 58,6%, and monitoring of weight and height from 13,8% to 41,4%. Providing counseling using booklet media and nutritional status discs was considered appropriate to equip adolescents as an effort to increase physical activity and weight monitoring. The participation and initiative of the school (teachers and students) and parents play an important role in achieving the expected results of this counseling.

Socialization of the Use of Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (LTCM) in Women of Reproductive Age (WRA)
Long-term contraceptive methods (LTCM) are methods designed to prevent pregnancy over a long period of time. According to WHO (2019), of the 1.9 billion women of childbearing age (15-49 years) in the world, around 1.1 billion require family planning services. There are 406 million modern contraceptive users, consisting of 159 million IUDs, 23 million implants, 74 million injections, and 150 million pills. This activity aimed to increase Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) knowledge about LTCM through socialization. The activity began with the licensing process, preparation of leaflet media containing LTCM information and scheduling of implementation. The activity was carried out at the integrated health post in the Bara-Barayya Health Center working area on June 28, 2024 assisted by a coordinating midwife and cadres with 23 WRA participants. The socialization carried out included pre-tests and post-tests, delivery of material on the types, benefits, risks, and how to use LTCM, as well as interactive discussions and questions and answers to encourage active participation of participants. Evaluation was carried out to measure the increase in knowledge. Before socialization, 18 (78,3%) had good knowledge, 5 (21,7%) had poor knowledge. After socialization, 21 (91,3%) had good knowledge and only 2 (8,7%) had poor knowledge. In conclusion, there was an increase in knowledge after socialization. Continued support and attention are needed so that the use of LTCM P is effective in regulating pregnancy spacing and preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Empowering Pregnant Women in Choosing Postpartum Contraception Using Digital Booklet
The rate of postpartum contraceptive use remained relatively low. Based on data from BKKBN, only around 36% of mothers used postpartum contraception. The low utilization of Postpartum Family Planning (PFP) increased the risk of closely spaced pregnancies, which contributed to high maternal and infant mortality rates (MMR and IMR). PFP played a significant role in reducing MMR and stunting. In 2022, according to Senior Expert of the Presidential Staff Office, Dr. Brian Sri Prahastuti, the achievement of PFP was only around 35,78% of the 40% target. Various factors influenced the low acceptance of postpartum contraceptives, with lack of knowledge being one of the primary causes. This lack of knowledge and family support was also due to the limited dissemination of information, resulting in pregnant women and their families being unaware of the importance of PFP. This activity aimed to promote PFP by empowering pregnant women through the use of a digital booklet. The implementation followed five stages: planning, action, observation, evaluation, and reflection. The activity was conducted on November 19, 2024, in the pregnant women’s class at TPMB Nomretti. The results showed an increase in maternal knowledge after counseling through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) using the digital booklet, with average knowledge scores increasing from 4,9 to 8,9. In addition, five out of eight pregnant women stated that they intended to use PFP, two with IUDs and three with implants. In conclusion, PFP achievement could be improved if counseling was provided to pregnant women using engaging educational media.

The majority of products produced by micro business actors in Lomaer Village, Blega District, had not been halal-certified due to limited understanding and a lack of socialization, education, and assistance regarding halal certification. This condition encouraged the community service team to address the issue through a structured program. The purpose of this activity was to conduct training and mentoring on halal certification to help micro business actors improve their product quality and obtain halal certificates. The implementation methods included observation, idea planning, and a series of activities consisting of training and mentoring. The process began with the creation of a Business Identification Number (NIB), completion of business actor data onhttp://ptsp.halal.go.id, submission of facilitation registration data through the LPH Halal Center UTM, and registration of Sihalal business accounts. The outcomes of this program included increased awareness and understanding of the importance of halal certification, improved knowledge of the certification process among micro business actors, and their ability to identify halal and non-halal ingredients. As a result, five products from business actors in Lomaer Village successfully obtained halal certification.

Peningkatan Kapasitas Kader dalam Pencegahan Stunting Melalui Program Bageur di Posyandu Nusa Indah, Desa Parungpanjang
Pemerintah Indonesia menetapkan target penurunan stunting menjadi 14% pada 2024, namun data menunjukkan prevalensi stunting pada tahun 2022 masih 21,6%. Kondisi yang sama juga terlihat di tingkat daerah dimana prevalensi stunting di Kabupaten Bogor mencapai 19,08% pada tahun 2019. Hasil analisis situasi di salah satu puskesmas di Kabupaten Bogor yaitu Puskesmas Parungpanjang menunjukkan bahwa kondisi ini disebabkan oleh belum optimalnya implementasi program pencegahan stunting, terutama di Posyandu Nusa Indah. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat melalui pemberdayaan kader. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya kegiatan peningkatan kapasitas kader sebagai ujung tombak pencegahan stunting di masyarakat seperti program BAGEUR. Program ini disusun berdasarkan kondisi di Posyandu Nusa Indah dan dikembangkan menggunakan pendekatan multidisiplin. Kegiatan ini dibagi kedalam 2 kegiatan utama yaitu Bageur Kader-Na (pelatihan komunikator pencegahan stunting) dan Bageur PMT-Na (pelatihan pembuatan PMT balita tinggi protein). Kegiatan pertama yaitu pelatihan fasilitator cegah stunting, hasilnya diperoleh perubahan signifikan pengetahuan sebelum dan setelah diberikan pelatihan (p-value<0,001), dengan rata-rata pengetahuan sebelum 78,75 dan setelah pelatihan mengalami peningkatan menjadi 90,59. Kegiatan kedua yaitu pelatihan pembuatan makanan tambahan. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan memberikan pelatihan untuk pembuatan beberapa menu PMT yang disesuaikan dengan kelompok usia. Pelaksanaan kegiatan diatas diharapkan dapat mencapai target utama kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini yaitu “Bageur status gizi balita-na” yang tergambarkan melalui peningkatan asupan protein balita melalui pemberian PMT untuk jangka pendek dan untuk jangka panjang perbaikan profil status gizi balita di wilayah kerja Posyandu Nusa Indah.

Digital Literacy Assistance to the Sei Lekop Fish Crackers Industry Centre as an Effort to Develop Business and Upgrade MSMEs
The high volume of captured fisheries is utilized by coastal communities as a livelihood source by processing the catch into value-added products such as fish crackers. This community service program aimed to improve the digital literacy of micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors to support business development and MSME advancement. Conducted from April to November 2024 at the Sei Lekop Fish Crackers Industry Center in Bintan Regency, the program targeted seven Joint Business Groups (Kelompok Usaha Bersama/KUBE), with two participants each. However, one participant was absent, resulting in 13 total attendees.The program responded to key challenges such as continued reliance on conventional marketing and limited access to digital platforms. Products were often resold without proper branding, and customers struggled to find them online due to participants’ limited knowledge of digital marketing and time constraints in managing e-commerce. To address these issues, the program included educational sessions and hands-on mentoring in digital literacy. The implementation followed three phases: preparation, execution, and evaluation. Training covered creating social media and e-commerce accounts, as well as content creation using tools like Canva. The evaluation used pre- and post-program questionnaires to measure changes in understanding. Results showed a significant increase in digital literacy among participants, from an average of 36.93% before the program to 63.07% after. This indicates that the intervention effectively enhanced the digital capacity of MSME actors, supporting their business sustainability and competitiveness in the digital era.

Effectiveness of Education on Providing Complementary Feeding Textures Appropriate to Toddlers' Ages for Stunting Prevention
Failure to thrive in children is influenced by the quality of food consumed. Children aged six months and above require complementary feeding as a nutritional supplement, which should be prepared with texture suitable for their age to ensure digestibility. Local fish, containing low allergencity protein, is a recommended choice for complementary feeding. This activity aimed to enhance knowledge among mothers of toddlers, particularly those with children aged 6–12 months, about complementary feeding using local ingredients. The participants were mothers active in Naluri Posyandu and Kencana Posyandu in Panglayungan Village, Tasikmalaya City. The method involved stages of activity, including (1) monitoring child weight and (2) providing nutritional education on complementary feeding. The nutritional status monitoring showed that 20,00% of toddlers in Naluri Posyandu were stunted, with 9,00% severely stunted. While in Kencana Posyandu, 21,00% were stunted and 6,00% severely stunted. Through educational activities, mothers’ knowledge significantly improved, with pretest scores averaging 5.87 and posttest scores 8.02. The Wilcoxon test confirmed a significant difference in knowledge before and after intervention (p-value =0,000, p-value <0,05). This program had a positive impact on enhancing maternal knowledge. It is recommended that posyandu continue regular educational activities on complementary feeding and related topics, either through posyandu cadres or in collaboration with relevant institutions.
