Interest-based lending practices by moneylenders remain a significant challenge for communities and micro-enterprises in Dusun 9, Sei Rotan Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency. Limited Islamic financial literacy has resulted in a lack of understanding of Sharia-compliant financing alternatives. This community service program aimed to enhance public understanding of Islamic financing contracts and encourage the utilization of Islamic financial institutions as alternative funding sources. The program employed socialization sessions, training workshops, interactive discussions, and evaluations through pre-tests and post-tests. Participants included micro and small business owners, community leaders, and local residents. The results indicated a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding of riba, murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, and qardh contracts. The average participant score increased from 58.4 before the training to 84.7 after the training. Furthermore, participants demonstrated a greater interest in utilizing Islamic financing services rather than interest-based loans. This program contributed to strengthening Islamic financial literacy and supporting community economic empowerment through the adoption of Sharia-compliant financing practices

The development of the digital economy encourages MSME actors to adapt to various technological innovations, including the use of digital payment systems. However, the results of initial observations show that some MSME actors still have limited understanding of digital payments and the use of the Quick Response Indonesian Standard (QRIS), and still rely on cash transactions in their business activities. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to increase participants' understanding of digital payment systems, introduce QRIS as a national standard for digital payments, provide an understanding of the benefits and security of QRIS, and encourage the use of digital transactions in supporting the financial transformation of MSMEs. The activity was carried out in the form of an online webinar organized by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants of the Banten Region with the theme "Getting to Know QRIS Closer: Fast, Modern, and Secure Digital Payment Strategies". The implementation method includes participant registration, material delivery, discussion and question and answer, and evaluation of activities. The participants of the activity totaled 33 people consisting of students, MSME actors, and the general public. The material presented included the evolution of payment systems, QRIS standardization, the advantages of QRIS, QRIS transaction mechanisms, types of QRIS, digital transaction security, QRIS and accounting transformation, as well as opportunities to utilize QRIS for MSMEs and the younger generation. The results of the activity showed that participants obtained information about the concept of QRIS, the benefits of digital payments, the security of digital transactions, the implementation of QRIS in business activities, and the use of QRIS in supporting the financial transformation of MSMEs. In addition, participants assessed that the material presented was relevant to current needs, easy to understand, and useful in supporting business management and adaptation to the development of the digital economy. This activity also resulted in a follow-up plan in the form of the dissemination of digital educational materials, assistance in the implementation of QRIS, monitoring the use of digital payments, and holding follow-up webinars. Thus, the webinar program has become an educational tool that supports the improvement of digital payment literacy and understanding of the use of QRIS in supporting the financial transformation of MSMEs in the digital economy era.

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women in Indonesia. Although it can be prevented through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and early detection using IVA screening or Pap smears, screening coverage remains low due to a lack of knowledge, attitudes, and awareness among women of childbearing age. This study aims to analyze the behavior of women of reproductive age regarding their interest in cervical cancer prevention at the Kampung Baru Community Health Center. The study employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 98 women of reproductive age selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that measured respondents’ behavior and interest in cervical cancer prevention. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 26–35 years (41.8%) and had a high school education (45.9%). The behavior of the respondents was classified as “good” for 56 individuals (57.1%), while 62 respondents (63.3%) expressed a high level of interest in cervical cancer prevention. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were aged 26–35 years (41.8%) and had a high school education (45.9%). The behavior of the respondents fell into the “good” category for 56 individuals (57.1%), while 62 respondents (63.3%) expressed a high level of interest in cervical cancer prevention. The results of the Chi-Square test analysis indicate a significant association between the health behaviors of women of reproductive age and their interest in cervical cancer prevention (p = 0.001). The educational activities provided also improved participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and motivation to undergo early detection through IVA screening and Pap smears. It is concluded that good health behaviors play a crucial role in increasing the interest of women of reproductive age in cervical cancer prevention. Therefore, ongoing health education must continue to be implemented to increase screening coverage and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.

Dementia is a common health issue among older adults that leads to a decline in cognitive function, independence, and quality of life. Older adults’ limited knowledge of risk factors, signs, and symptoms, as well as preventive measures, has resulted in suboptimal early detection and management of dementia. This community service activity aims to improve older adults’ knowledge and awareness regarding the prevention and management of dementia through health education. The activity was held on June 11, 2026, at the Binjai Elderly Social Services Unit (UPTD) of the North Sumatra Provincial Social Affairs Office, involving 43 older adults. The methods used included a pretest, interactive lectures, discussions, demonstrations, cognitive stimulation exercises, distribution of educational leaflets, and a posttest for evaluation. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants’ knowledge after attending the educational session. Before the activity, most participants still had limited knowledge about dementia, whereas after the activity, the majority of participants understood the definition of dementia, its risk factors, signs and symptoms, preventive measures, and the importance of early detection and regular cognitive stimulation. In addition to increasing knowledge, this program also boosted older adults’ participation, motivation, and awareness regarding the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors to maintain cognitive function. Thus, health education has proven to be an effective promotive and preventive strategy for enhancing knowledge and supporting dementia prevention efforts among older adults. Similar programs should be conducted on an ongoing basis as part of older adult health care services.
