Female students fill kuesioners, and male researchers use lembar observatories to compile the data. SPSS is used for both univariate and bivariate data analysis. Research shows that both before and after receiving the intervention, the media explosion box had a significant impact on knowledge . and respondent accuracy .

Hemoglobin (H. levels of 12 g/dL or less are considered anemia in young women. Because adolescent girls' iron absorption needs peak between the ages of 14 and 15, they are at higher risk of developing anemia. Teenagers who don't get enough iron may experience a variety of health problems, including decreased academic performance and productivity. Imperfect height and weight are not the only things that can be caused by iron deficiency. This can also weaken teenagers' immune systems, making them more susceptible to disease . According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of anemia in 2021 among women of productive age aged 15-49 years globally, namely 9%, is still relatively high among adolescent girls . One of Indonesia's six current nutritional problems is anemia. Based on 2018 Riskesdas data, 32% of teenagers . -24 year. experience anemia. This figure is equivalent to around 3. 5-4% of all Anemia affects 20. 3% of men and 2% of women . Accordingly, this explains why women have a higher rate of anemia than males do. Cases of anemia are still a serious concern for the East Kalimantan Health Office, considering that 32% of teenagers suffer from anemia .

Several other causal factors include lack of iron intake, vitamin deficiency, illness, blood loss, and injury or surgery which can cause blood loss, causing anemia . Considering these factors, it is important to offer Blood Supplement Tablets (TTD) to women who are developing . Blood Addition Tablets (TTD) are distributed to young women as part of a government Based on the results . that 89% of young women who used blood supplement tablets (TTD) did so while still at school. 1% of young women who used TTD stated that they did not do so when they were still at school. The percentage of people who do not receive TTD is 23. TTD consumption was 98. 6% in those who consumed less than 52 items and 1. 4% in those who consumed more than 52 items. Knowledge is essentially the sum of the results of the act of knowing about an object, which can be objects or events experienced by the subject . The lack of information and attitudes of the school community towards anemia and the benefits of providing blood supplement tablets contribute significantly to the poor implementation of the campaign to increase adherence to taking blood supplement pills among young women in schools .
