The circulation and abuse of drugs is increasingly concerning. The circulation and abuse of drugs has affected the homeland, penetrated into all areas of people’s lives and indiscriminately hit addicts who are about 80% of the younger generation aged 12-25 years as the next generation of the nation. For that, concrete steps need to be taken to save the nation’s generation by reducing the number of drug abuse. (BNNP SULSEL, 2015. Based on the results of research conducted at SDN Pattingalloang and SDN Teladan Ujung Tanah I and II, as well as SMP Negeri 35 Makassar with the title Effectiveness of KIE Approach Model “EAR” through Primary Prevention efforts for Drug Abuse (2017) shows that the KIE model approach “EAR” is very effective in efforts to prevent drug abuse. For this reason, follow-up is needed to apply in community service which is considered very appropriate for primary preventive measures, through
efforts to increase the knowledge of Adolescents for early prevention of drug abuse in the community environment of Biringkanaya District Katimbang village. This Community Service aims to make the community, especially Adolescents know the Efforts to prevent Early Drug Abuse. It is hoped that the implementation of this program will be useful, with the target of achieving the achievement of increasing the knowledge of adolescents to know, want and be able to perform a system of vigilance and supervision in the community environment and can know the procedures that must be done in case of drug abuse in the community. This program lasts for 6 months, with the evaluation plan including the implementation of pretest, the implementation of extension activities as much as 3 times exposure, after which posttest is carried out. Participants numbered 25 people, namely teenagers in the village of Katimbang
Biringkanaya sub district. Evaluation results based on pretest showed the level of knowledge of adolescents in the lesser category, after applying the “KIE EAR” model and then conducted a post test, then the evaluation results showed an increase in knowledge in adolescents about 50% to 100%. As conclusion is that the knowledge of adolescents after the activities of this community exposure is in the category of Good.
