<![CDATA[Adolescence is a crucial period marked by rapid development, so the need for nutrients, especially iron, increases. Anemia is one of the global health problems that has received great attention from the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO data in 2023 shows that 30.7% of women of reproductive age in the world experience anemia. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls is still high, at 32% based on Riskesdas 2018, while in East Kotawaringin it reaches 30%. This study aims to find out the overview of adolescent girls' insights about anemia at SMPN 9 Sampit in 2025. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research population was all students in grades VIII and IX as many as 187 people, with random sampling techniques. The research instrument is in the form of a closed questionnaire. The results showed that out of 65 respondents, the majority had sufficient insight as many as 37 students (56.9%), while the minority had good insight as many as 28 students (43.1%). Cross-tabulation showed that most students with sufficient insight obtained information from electronic media (46.2%), while students with good insight tended to obtain information from print media (9.2%). The conclusion of the study confirms that although adolescent girls already have a general idea of anemia, the understanding of details is still limited, so further education is needed.]]>
