Abstract
Contents: We started the program by conducting a survey among Jaten residents related to POSBINDU PTM. Interestingly, almost 100% of Jaten residents were not familiar with POSBINDU PTM. Following this further, we recruited health cadres as many as 30 new health cadres (male and female) and 40 % of them are teenagers. After that we started a series “Sekolah Kader” program. A semi structure interview was done among teenagers health cadre related to evaluate the knowledge, skills, and willingness to participate in POSBINDU PTM. Many teenager health cadres were satisfied of the program and they also made a good system in managing POSBINDU. POSBINDU PTM Jaten was lauched in February 2018. Since then, more than 75 residents attended POSBINDU program, not only older adult but also young adult. And this number is increasing every month. It can be concluded that involving teenager health cadres could be an important step to prevent NCDs by increasing the awareness of young adult to participate in regular health check up at POSBINDU PTM.
