The research design was an experimental pre-post test in one group with an intervention in the form of education through pocketbook media. The population were all students or adolescents of SMK N 3 Padang City, 62 people were selected purposively as a sample. The data were collected by measuring hemoglobin levels and a questionnaire to analyze the nutritional knowledge. The data were then analyzed by dependent sample t-test. The average score of student’s knowledge before the intervention was 3.72±1.39 points, and the average score after the intervention was 4.59±1.66 points. There was a significant difference in knowledge before and after education (p0.05). The hemoglobin levels before the educational intervention showed that 16% of female students were anemia. The average hemoglobin level before the intervention was 13.24±1.67 mg/dl and 13.92±1.49 mg/dl after the intervention. It was found that the treatment given had an effect on hemoglobin levels (p0.05). Nutrition affects increasing student’s knowledge and hemoglobin levels.
