The methods for implementing this community service activity include socialization about the dangers of drug abuse, education on the importance of early detection, and urine testing for students of Fikes Dehasen Bengkulu.Urine tests are carried out according to standard procedures using rapid drug test kits. This activity is conducted in a coordinated manner involving lecturers, healthcare workers from the Bengkulu City National Narcotics Agency (BNN), and students as participants totaling 70 people.The results of the activity indicate that out of 70 people who underwent urine testing (early detection), negative results (-) were obtained, which shows that the majority of Fikes Dehasen Bengkulu students are free from drug abuse.
