“…A study held in North Sumatra involving a total of 300 adolescent girls found that 30% of respondents suffer from anemia. As many as 13% of adolescent girls had mild anemia, 15.3% had moderate anemia, and 1.7% had severe anemia [2]. The previous research showed that iron deficiency was the most common cause of anemia in 14-16 aged participants (86.9%) [3], [4].…”

BACKGROUND: Adolescent is susceptible to nutritional problems that may lead to anemia. Anemia prevention for women is needed at earlier reproductive age to manifest healthy pregnancy, labor, and offspring. It is necessary to create an effective approach for anemia prevention in adolescent girls. AIM: The focus of this study was to prevent anemia in adolescent girls by improving their nutritional fulfillment rate through moringa leaf cookies provision and/or e-monitoring. METHODS: This research was conducted on students from two different high schools using a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-evaluation. Moringa leaf cookies were consumed for a month on both groups. The intervention group was exposed to an e-monitoring application called “E-monitoring: Nutritional Intake” to record the amount and type of food consumed daily and provide information about personal nutrient percentage fulfilled compared to the recommended dietary allowance. RESULTS: The results show an increase in nutritional intake in the intervention group, which was significantly different from nutritional intake in the control group. Anemia status changes of participants from anemic to non-anemic conditions in both intervention and control groups were 88.89% and 76.92% consecutively (CI 95%). There was a significant increase in nutrient fulfillment for the intervention group. CONCLUSION: E-monitoring is an important approach for preventing anemia in adolescents by providing them awareness and information regarding their nutritional needs, with moringa leaf cookies as an effective food to increase hemoglobin.

Background: Adolescents pay such close attention to their physical shape and frequently construct their own body image. Low knowledge of nutrients will have an impact on attitudes and behavior related to nutritional status in adolescents. Nutrition education can also help youth gain adolescents' knowledge. Peers are believed to be very influential as educators, so, peer nutritional education in adolescents will be felt positively and have a very significant impact on nutritional status. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education conducted by peers, nutrition, and a combination on the nutritional status of adolescents. Methods and Material: This research used is a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design.The sample consisted of 120 students with an age range of 15–18 years, selected by random sampling. Nutrition education is provided by means of lectures and discussions by peers, nutritionists, or a combination of the two for 1 meeting a week. Statistical analysis used: This study will use the paired t test. Results: The findings revealed that nutrition education delivered by peers had a p value of 0.033 and nutrition education delivered by nutritionists had a p value of 0.003, but there was no significant effect on adolescent nutritional status when nutrition education was delivered in combination with a p value of 0.317. Nutrition education provided by peers is very useful for improving the nutritional status of adolescents. Conclusions: Nutritional education provided by peers is proven to be able to have a positive impact on adolescents because peers are the axis of youth association, so that what is shared and learned by peers will be more easily accepted.
