Third, increasing understanding, attitudes and skills of adolescent girls and mothers regarding health care is measured through participants being able to practice the material taught. Fourth, the community has health life skills related to health, such as BSE examination (breast self-examination), first aid, cooking balanced nutritious food as proven by the assignments given. Fifth, the formation of PERMATA community and having a productive plan for the next two years.
