Results of the study showed there were differences in knowledge (p value 0.000), attitude (p value 0.000) and skills (p value 0.000) before and after the group that was given leaflets to female students at SMK Teluk Pandan. There is a difference in knowledge (p value 0.000), attitude (p value 0.000) and skills (p value 0.000) between those who are given peer education and those who are given leaflets.
