This study aimed to determine the effect of education through the TikTok application on the knowledge of eleventh-grade female adolescents about the importance of consuming iron tablets at MAN 2 Makassar in 2024. The method used is a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach. This study used non-parametric statistics, namely the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, to see the difference between knowledge before and after the intervention. Respondents were all eleventh-grade female students at MAN 2 Makassar. The population was 275 female students, with a sample size determined by the Slovin formula of 162 respondents. The sample was divided into two groups, where the experimental and control groups each consisted of 81 female students. The results of the study showed that the knowledge of female adolescents in grade XI obtained a p value = 0.000, which means p value <0.05. It can be concluded that education through the TikTok application has an influence on the knowledge of female adolescents in grade XI about the importance of consuming iron tablets at MAN 2 Makassar.]]>
