Adolescent health is very important, because adolescents are a productive age group that will later develop into the nation's next generation. However, adolescents, especially female adolescents, have a ten times greater risk of health problems in the form of anemia than male adolescents. The integrated community service program for lecturers and students in PKKMD activities begins on December 18 to December 30, 2022, while anemia data collection for adolescents in Bencal Hamlet, Diwek District, Jombang Regency will be carried out on December 26, 2022. It is hoped that this will contribute to improving the health of village communities, especially related to the problem of anemia in adolescents. This program carries out health checks and counseling for village communities who come to the Bencal Village Health Center, Diwek District, Jombang Regency.
