This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and family support for adolescent sexual behavior in students of SMA Negeri Mutis Eban, West Miomaffo Subdistrict, North Central Timor District. The study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. This research was conducted at the Public Senior High School Mutis Eban in March-June 2021. The population in this study were all 10th and 11th-grade students totaling 326 people. The sample of 115 students was selected using the proportional random sampling technique. The data were analyzed with a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that knowledge (p-value= 0.000), attitudes (p-value= 0.000), and family support (p-value= 0.000) had a significant relationship to sexual behavior in students of SMA Negeri Mutis Eban.
