What is the fate of adolescent reproductive health education during the COVID-19 Pandemic?

                 Adolescents as part of society have experienced the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic which began in Indonesia in mid-March 2020. Judging from the health of adolescents during the prolonged period of regional quarantine, adolescents are more vulnerable to anxiety, stress, and experiencing risky health behaviors. The Covid 19 pandemic has made lifestyle changes, including requiring people to reduce activities outside the home and implement strict health protocols. This aims to reduce and prevent the transmission of Covid 19. Given the situation of the Covid 19 pandemic, of course all activities experience limitations in their implementation, including adolescent reproductive health education activities which previously were regularly held either at schools, campuses or in banjars or other youth associations directly face to face. faces are now switched to virtually for mutual safety. Virtual activities include:

1. Education through social media

Most teenagers use social media to access information, communicate and expand relationships. Social media is an effective means of disseminating information and conducting education targeting adolescents. Dissemination of information and education through social media can be done by making educational videos, posters, videos and others that contain information about reproductive health, such as risky sexual behavior, premarital sex, drug abuse, early marriage, and issues related to the pro-health sector. It can also be discussed via the whatsapp group, line, facebook, instagram, and twiter. Apart from the social media above, you can still get through conventional media such as print and electronic media, for example advertisements on TV, radio broadcasts, newspapers, magazines and so on

The organizers come from observers of youth welfare, such as the BKKBN, Ministry of Health, PKBI, and other health institutions.

3. Online adolescent reproductive health-themed competition.

With restrictions on activities outside the home, youth are expected to participate in activities that are useful and positive to fill their spare time. Adolescents can be creative in participating in various competitions with the theme of adolescent reproductive health online.
