ABSTRACT One characteristic of adolescents is their tendency to share information, tell stories, and gather with their peers. They may experience the negative effects of these habits when they do not have adequate life skills, especially in terms of sexuality. On the other hand, these activities present an opportunity for health promotion through peer-based approaches or peer counseling. The goal is to know the effects of peer counseling methods as media of information to increase adolescents’ knowledge and attitude regarding sexual problems. The study used a quasi-experimental approach with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 17 respondents between 15-24 years old living in Banguntapan, Bantul, Yogyakarta who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected with the purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The results showed that there was a difference in the average knowledge level (p = 0.021) and attitudes (p = 0.000) of respondents related to sexuality before and after receiving peer counseling training. Methods and media used in delivering health information to adolescents should be diversified in schools, in the community, and in health services to generate interest in accessing and heeding appropriate health information. Keywords: peer counseling, sexuality, adolescents, health promotion

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of sudden death in a person. Sudden death due to ACS can be prevented if individuals who show symptoms of ACS immediately obtain health services. If the family (caregiver) has good knowledge about ACS, the delay can be avoided. The method of implementing health education that is safe to use during the COVID-19 pandemic is to be carried out virtually. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of virtual health education in increasing family knowledge about ACS. The research was carried out in the work area of the Andalas Public Health Center, Padang City. The type of research used is quantitative using a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. The sample in this study were family members of individuals who are at high risk of experiencing ACS totaling 266 people consisting of 133 people in the case group and 133 others in the control group. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. Respondents' understanding of the material after health education, both in the case group and the control group, was evaluated using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically using the SPSS program. The results showed that virtual health education had a positive effect on respondents' knowledge of ACS in the case group compared to the control group. The results showed that there was a significant effect of health education on knowledge (p value = 0.000) of respondents in the case group. However, there was no effect in the control group (p value 0,181). The health promotion team should continue to provide health education to the public about ACS during COVID-19 pandemic using virtual media. Thus, health promotion programs can continue to be carried out without having to worry about the spread of the corona virus.
