Abstract

The results of the study of the density of Aedes aegypti larvae from the Cochran's Q test for the presence of larvae in the school environment (p=0.000) and the CI and DF values after training and mentoring of adolescent jumantik for the school environment were at 0 WHO positive containers. Training and mentoring of Youth Jumantik on the presence of Aedes aegypti larvae at MAN 3 Makassar City has a significant effect on the presence of Aedes aegypti larvae. Therefore, it is recommended that Youth Jumantik activities be carried out by adding cadres so that the proliferation of Aedes aegypti larvae and the risk of dengue fever transmission in the school and home environment does not occur.
