Analysis revealed a varied distribution of knowledge levels, with 53.1% demonstrating sufficient understanding, and 9.4% exhibiting limited knowledge. The findings underscore the importance of improving health education to empower students to make informed decisions. Collaborative efforts with Community Health Centers and implementation of healthy living initiatives are recommended to enhance students' health literacy and promote healthier lifestyles.
