Abstract

Background: The prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls increased from 37.1% to 48.9% in 2018. Women accounted for 27.2% of the cases, and lack of knowledge about anemia and unsupportive attitudes are also contributing factors. Methods: This study used a literature review with the Prisma method for data collection. A search of journals and articles was conducted through Scopus. Five key journals were reviewed and analyzed. Results: There was a significant relationship between knowledge before and after health education. The likelihood of anemia among adolescent girls with poor knowledge was 1.5 times higher than among adolescents with good knowledge. Conclusion: Improved knowledge about anemia among adolescent girls in schools is necessary to create behavioral changes in anemia prevention and to support successful anemia prevention programs.
