The visitor program is the implementation of PHBS education in the elementary school community and health screening for the general public. The results of observation show the lack of role of adolescent girls in preventing stunting, so it is necessary to accompany them to obtain increased knowledge and skills in accompanying adolescents to avoid stunting. The method of service activities is the assistance of 20 adolescents, consisting of three stages, namely the first stage of providing education and socialization on anemia prevention, the importance of Blood Supplement Tablets (TTD), how to consume, demonstration of anemia detection, pre-intervention Hb examination. The first stage is pretest and posttest on adolescents. The second stage, post-intervention Hb examination, the third stage is the administration of blood-boosting tablets. The participants of this PHBS educational activity are 6th grade students totaling 26 students.
