Abstract: Anemia is one of the health problems that occurs in adolescents and can inhibit growth, physical development and reduce productivity. The purpose of this community service activity is to identify the incidence of anemia, the level of knowledge, and interest of adolescents in carrying out complementary therapy in preventing and treating anemia. This community service activity began with the implementation of Hb examination and counseling on complementary therapy to treat anemia. A total of 115 adolescents participated in the anemia detection and education activities, 17 female adolescents and 2 male adolescents experienced anemia. The average score of the level of knowledge of anemia before counseling was 75.84 and the average score of the level of knowledge after counseling was 83.78. Most adolescents did not know about the use of complementary therapy to treat anemia, and 50% of adolescents were interested in using complementary therapy to prevent anemia. Early detection of anemia can be done through regular Hb examinations. This is important to prevent and overcome anemia and reduce the adverse effects of anemia on adolescents. Complementary therapy can be one way to overcome the problem of anemia in adolescents.
