The rapid rise of short-form social media platforms, particularly TikTok, among adolescents has raised concerns regarding excessive use and potential behavioral addiction that may negatively affect mental health and academic functioning. This community engagement program aimed to screen the risk of TikTok addiction among secondary school students in West Jakarta and provide education on healthy digital practices. The program was conducted at one private school in Jelambar, involving 306 students aged 11–18 years. Screening was performed using the TikTok Addiction Scale (TTAS) followed by digital literacy education. A Plan–Do–Check–Action (PDCA) framework was applied to ensure systematic implementation. The mean TTAS score was 39.97 ± 14.24 (range 20–84), indicating diverse levels of TikTok engagement. Female students demonstrated higher scores and wider distribution, suggesting greater vulnerability to excessive social media use. Digital hygiene and screen-time management education enhanced students’ awareness regarding social media addiction risks and appropriate preventive strategies. This program demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of TTAS-based screening for early identification of TikTok addiction risk. It highlighted the importance of integrating digital health promotion into school-based mental health programs to support adolescent well-being.

Entrepreneurship is the process of creating, developing, and managing a new business, often starting from an idea or concept and evolving into a sustainable business. An entrepreneur is an individual who establishes, manages, and grows a business or venture with the aim of creating added value, generating profit, and managing risk. Engaging in entrepreneurship in a village offers many unique opportunities, particularly because of the distinct advantages and challenges compared to an urban environment. The village of Bobotsari in Purbalingga Regency, Central Java, has various potentials that can be developed to bussiness ventures to enhance the well-being of the community and the village economy
