Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant health issue in Indonesia, with high prevalence and long-term impacts on reproductive health, as well as an increased risk of stunting in their offspring. The Iron Supplementation (TTD) program has been initiated by the government as a stunting prevention effort, yet adherence to TTD consumption among adolescent girls remains low. The role of pharmacists as educators and facilitators in public health programs is crucial in improving TTD consumption adherence. This community service aims to improve adherence to TTD consumption as a stunting prevention measure among female vocational school students through the Anti-Stunting Movement Program at Pelita Cibitung Vocational School in 2024. Activities conducted include interactive education on stunting, anemia, and the importance of TTD consumption, as well as monitoring and evaluating TTD consumption adherence. Evaluation was performed using the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS) questionnaire. The evaluation results showed an increase in TTD consumption adherence after education and monitoring through WhatsApp Group. This demonstrates that the active involvement of pharmacists in education and monitoring can improve adherence to TTD consumption in adolescent girls.
