Abstract

Adolescence is a period when teenagers experience rapid physical, psychological, and social development. Teenagers who have not yet achieved sexual maturity often exhibit high curiosity about sexual matters and a strong desire to form special relationships with the opposite sex, commonly known as dating. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of education using lecture methods and leaflet media in addressing the impacts of risky sexual behaviors on adolescents' knowledge regarding risky sexual behaviors. This research employs a quantitative method involving 120 student respondents from various classes.The results indicate that education through lectures and leaflet distribution has a significant impact on increasing adolescents' knowledge and awareness about risky sexual behaviors. The conclusion drawn is that educating adolescents by combining lecture methods with leaflet distribution can help deter them from engaging in risky sexual behaviors. This approach is also recommended for schools to incorporate into the curriculum as part of health education initiatives to safeguard the health and future of adolescents.
