Abstract
Obesity has become a global issue that is a pandemic and requires immediate response. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of psychoeducation and health promotion programs to reduce obesity in junior high school students. The research method used was quantitative with a one group pretest-posttest study - experimental design. The research subjects totaled 199 people who used purposive sampling techniques and the number of withdrawals was based on the Issac and Michael indicators. The experimental model uses the concept of psychoeducation and health promotion as treatment. Data collection used an obesity understanding questionnaire and analyzed with paired sample t-test. The results showed differences in knowledge and skills of obesity prevention in students before and after the psychoeducation and health promotion program (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). The effectiveness of this program is based on several factors, including the program model, material content, delivery methods, and sustainable promotional media.
