Anemia or low levels of hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood are a health problem that frequently occurs in developing countries. Adolescents who suffer from anemia are easily lethargic and fatigued which has an impact on creativity and productivity. In addition, adolescents are at risk of experiencing susceptibility to diseases and deliveries that might cause the babies to have nutritional problems when they grow up. This study aims to examine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of anemia prevention in female adolescents in South Aceh Junior High School (SMP). The research design used a cross-sectional study. Samples were taken by total sampling with a total of 123 female adolescents. The results of the chi-square test showed that the variable associated with anemia prevention behavior was knowledge with p-value of 0.028 (<0.05). The results of the study are expected to be a reference to further increase the knowledge of adolescents regarding anemia prevention.
