Abstract
Background : Teenagers who become the next generation in national development face various problems. The most prominent problem among adolescents is the issue of TRIAD KRR (Sexuality, HIV, AIDS, and Drugs). Sexual intercourse carried out on adolescent girls will be able to cause pregnancy in their teens and will result in risks to the mother and the baby. Adolescent girls who are pregnant and give birth at the age of 15-19 years have a 2 times greater risk of dying than those aged 20 years and over. Even more at risk in teenage pregnancies aged less than 14 years, the risk is 5 times greater. Adolescent reproductive health problems occur due to the low knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health. Problem Based Learning (BBM) is an innovation in learning. Thinking skills are optimized through a systematic group or teamwork process so that they can empower, hone, test, and develop their thinking skills on an ongoing basis .

PMR and Scout students who have been trained have the opportunity to share about premarital sex independently with their schoolmates and the community service team will observe
Results : The average knowledge and attitude of students in Partner 2 (MAN I) is higher than that of partner 1 (SMK Pesat). In partner 2 (MAN I) there was an increase in knowledge after attending training in the form of a peer group about premarital sex using a problem card. Meanwhile, in partner 1 (SMK Pesat) there was a relatively higher increase in attitude than partner 2 (MAN I).
