<![CDATA[This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a school-based reproductive health education program in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward reproductive health. The program was delivered to 400 students in a medium-sized Indonesian school, with a pre-test and post-test assessment to measure changes in knowledge. Qualitative interviews were also conducted to explore students' perceptions of the program. The results revealed a significant increase in reproductive health knowledge among students in the intervention group, particularly regarding contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and gender equality. Students also reported positive changes in their attitudes toward relationships and gender equality, though some cultural and socio-economic barriers remained. The study concludes that school-based reproductive health education is effective in enhancing adolescents' knowledge and attitudes, but further research is needed to address the cultural and access-related challenges that affect the full implementation of this knowledge. The findings contribute to the understanding of how school-based programs can improve adolescent reproductive health outcomes and highlight areas for future research to enhance their effectiveness.]]>
