Abstract: Background: Anemia among adolescent girls remains a major public health problem linked to growth, menstruation, and poor nutrition. Current prevention efforts, including promoting healthy lifestyles, providing iron supplements, and encouraging school-parent collaboration, have not yielded optimal results. Challenges include dependence on primary health centers (Puskesmas), low health literacy, and educational media that are less accessible or engaging. Lampung Province has the highest anemia prevalence in Sumatra (63%), with 24.3% among adolescent girls. Lampung Tengah Regency also shows low program coverage at 39.22% of the 75% target. Objective: This study aimed to explore an effective empowerment model for adolescent girls in preventing anemia in Lampung Tengah Regency. Methods: This study employed a qualitative phenomenological design, collecting data through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with 8 participants they are students, parents, teachers, healthcare staff, and health officials, selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed thematically with N-VIVO through open, axial, and selective coding, with triangulation applied for validity. Results: Existing media such as smartphones and oral counseling were ineffective due to school phone restrictions, poor connectivity, and low engagement. Most participants preferred a personal monitoring book as an alternative. The book met eight criteria: practicality, reminders, standard monitoring, self-assessment, visual appeal, daily iron targets, nutrition calculator, and shared access. This tool enhanced adolescents’ awareness and self-reliance in anemia prevention while promoting stronger cross-sectoral collaboration in health promotion.
