This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of nutrition education intervention on knowledge of anaemia prevention and on hemoglobin level among adolescents. METHODS: This research was a quasi-experimental study which used research design of non-equivalent control group designs. This research was done in Padang, Indonesia from March-May 2017 and the intervention was nutrition education using booklet. The sample consisted of 62 teenage girls selected using simple random sampling technique. The data were analysed by paired sample t-test. RESULTS: The average scores of knowledge before and after giving health education was 3.7 and 4.5 point. Haemoglobin level before and after experiments were 13.17 and 13.86g/dl. There was significant improvement on knowledge about anaemia (p=0.001) and hemoglobin level (p=0.03).
