Health promotion innovation by utilizing technology is needed to improve the studentsÂ’ awareness in reducing the incidence of breast cancer. This study aims to measure the effect of SADARI health promotion through WhatsApp and Instagram social media on increasing knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the usefulness of technology in Andalas University students. METHODS: Quasi experiment study with a non-equivalent pretest post test design approach to female students in non-medical faculty of Andalas University, which are divided into health promotion recipients using WhatsApp dan Instagram. RESULTS: There are differences in the average score of knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the usefulness of the respondents technology before and after SADARI health promotion using WhatsApp and Instagram social media (p<0.05). The results of statistical tests show that the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the usefulness of technology respondents in WhatsApp group are higher than the Instagram group (p<0.05).
