dc.description.abstract | The lack of information and in-depth knowledge about adolescent reproductive
health (ARH) has a negative impact on junior high school (JHS) students during puberty that
can develop into unhealthy reproductive behaviors, such as risky sexual behavior in dating
and consumption of pornography through online media. Meanwhile, there is a lack of facilities
and infrastructure to accommodate the interests and talents of students that are friendly with
local wisdom. Accordingly, a partnership program is needed between schools and universities
to improve student creativity by coaching ARH through the empowerment of the school
environment. The creation of the short movie program "Healthy ARH" with local wisdom-

friendly content was conducted for six months at JHS 2 and JHS 3 Tamanan, Bondowoso. A
total of 36 students, 34 parents, and six teachers participated in this program. The series of
activities consisted of community school consultations, training to make a short film, education
and training for ARH, and monitoring and evaluation of the program. Program assessments for
students were done through quantitative measurements using Chi-squared tests for analyses
of the differences in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior concerning ARH, as well as knowledge
of HIV at the beginning of month 1, month 3, and month 6, whereas the qualitative evaluation
was done through content analysis of focus group discussions to improve the program.
Among 36 students who took part in this program, there were significant differences in ARH
understanding before and after participating in the creation of the short film "Healthy ARH"
based on local wisdom-friendly content, in terms of knowledge (X
2
= 33.6; p<0.001), attitudes
(X
2
= 16.2; p=0.001), behavior (X
2
= 24.3; p<0.001), and knowledge of HIV (X
2
= 11.9; p=0.008). We
concluded the short film "Healthy ARH" based on local wisdom-friendly content can improve
the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior concerning ARH, as well as students' HIV knowledge. | en_US |
