Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem among adolescent, particularly high school students, and it has a severe impact on both health and academic performance. Purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anemia education and health screening programs in increasing students’ knowledge and awareness of anemia. This study used a pre-post test design without a control group, with 45 students aged 16 to 18 as respondents. The interventions included health education through lectures and the distribution of booklet. In addition, students received an anthropometric evaluation and hemoglobin levels were measured. According to the screening results, 15 students out of 45 had anemia, with 14 being female students. The results of data analysis showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge about anemia after the intervention (p < 0.000). However, there was no correlation between nutrition status and anemia, nor physical activity and anemia. According to this study, female students are more likely to suffer from anemia, and health education may contribute to increasing awareness of anemia and enhance the quality of life.
