Education on the impact of drugs on adolescent reproductive health

According to WHO, reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its functions and processes. Narcotics is an abbreviation for narcotics, psychotropic substances and other addictive substances. Narcotics are substances or drugs derived from plants or non-plants, either synthetic or semi-synthetic, which can cause a decrease or change in consciousness, loss of taste, reduce or eliminate pain, and cause dependence. This activity aims to implement health promotion and preventive efforts based on collaboration between professions regarding the provision of health education on the impact of drugs on adolescent reproductive health. The methods used are preparation stages, implementation stages, and activity evaluation. The result of implementing this activity was an increase in teenagers' knowledge and attitudes about the impact of drugs on reproductive health from not knowing to knowing. It was concluded that there is a need for regular outreach and involvement in many communities, health cadres, and schools. Through increasing this knowledge, it is hoped that teenagers can take preventive and proactive steps in preventing the dangers of drugs to health. This holistic approach involves collaboration with health workers, exploring local resources, and ensuring social support to support efforts to prevent and abuse drugs.
