Abstrak : Walaupun morbiditas dan mortalitas akibat COVID-19 pada remaja tidak setinggi kelompok umur lainnya, remaja berpotensi menjadi sumber penularan bagi orang lain terutama kelompok usia rentan. Generasi Z (Gen Z) dengan segala karakteristiknya dapat memberikan dampak dualisme (positif atau negatif) terhadap pengendalian COVID-19. Edukasi tentang COVID-19 di SMKS Citra Negara, Depok masih terbatas padahal pemahaman yang baik menjadi modal penting bagi remaja untuk berpartisipasi dalam pengendalian COVID-19. Tujuan kegiatan adalah memberikan edukasi mengenai peran Gen Z dalam pengendalian COVID-19. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dengan melakukan penyuluhan dalam konsep webinar kepada 23 orang pengurus OSIS dengan tiga topik utama yaitu situasi terkini COVID-19, definisi remaja dan karakteristiknya, dan potensi Gen Z dalam pengendalian COVID-19. Evaluasi dilakukan terhadap aspek input (persiapan), proses (pelaksanaan), dan output (peningkatan pengetahuan). Terdapat peningkatan persentase peserta yang berpengetahuan baik antara pre-test (13,0%) dan post-test (26,1%). Diperlukan adanya peningkatan promosi kesehatan tentang peran remaja dalam pengendalian COVID-19 baik dalam aspek metode maupun target peserta yang lebih luas. Abstract: Although morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in adolescents is not as high as other age groups, they may be potential sources of community transmission. Gen Z can have a dualistic impact (positive or negative) on controlling COVID-19. Health promotion about COVID-19 at SMK Citra Negara, Depok is still limited whereas a good understanding is needed to maximize the role of adolescents in controlling COVID-19. The purpose is to provide education about the role of Gen Z in controlling COVID-19. A webinar with three main topics (current situation of COVID-19, definition of adolescents and their characteristics, potential role of Gen Z in controlling COVID-19) was attended by 23 OSIS administrators. The evaluation was exercised on aspects of preparation, implementation, and knowledge improvement. There was an increase in the percentage of participants who have good knowledge between pre-test (13.0%) and post-test (26.1%). There is still a need for increasing health promotion, in terms of methods and wider target audiences Abstrak[A1] : Walaupun morbiditas dan mortalitas akibat COVID-19 pada remaja tidak setinggi kelompok umur lainnya, remaja berpotensi menjadi sumber penularan bagi orang lain terutama kelompok usia rentan.
