Based on data from SDKI (2017), it shows that adolescents' understanding of reproductive health is still in the moderate category, which is 67.9% for female adolescents and 61.2% for male adolescents, which can be influenced by the supervision system and regulations in the school environment. The study was quantitative in nature with an observational analytic design using a cross sectional study form.
