Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood characterized by several
significant changes in terms of physical, psychological, and social aspects. Adolescence is
a period of exploration; they will try many new things. This condition encourages
adolescents to engage in risky behavior and unhealthy lifestyles. One of the risks
associated with this condition is the excessive use of electronic devices or gadgets. We
conducted socialization activities using health promotion and education methods at SMPN
2 Tarogong Kidul, located in Jayaraga Village, Tarogong Kidul District, Garut Regency. The
first stage of the activity involves identifying the behavior patterns of students at the
school, based on the school's interpretation and perspective. The implementation stage
involves the socialization of students at SMPN 2 Tarogong Kidul Garut, utilizing a delivery
method that includes lectures, discussions, and questions and answers. During the final
stage, we assessed students' understanding through pretests and posttests, which
supported the evaluation of their success. Based on the pre-test and post-test completed
by the socialization participants, it is evident that the provided material has imparted
knowledge to them, demonstrating that students are paying attention to the presented
content.
