This study aims to determine the effect of anemia education with animated videos on adherence to the consumption of blood-added tablets and hemoglobin levels of adolescent girls at SMPN 17 Samarinda. Quantitative research using quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest approach with control group design. The number of samples was 36 people by purposive sampling divided into 2 groups, each 18 respondents in the experimental group with animated videos and controls with leaflets.

In the control group with leaflets there was an increase in consumption adherence (p = 0.000), but there was no significant difference in hemoglobin levels (p = 0.112). There was a significant mean difference in adherence to the consumption of blood-added tablets (p = 0.002) and hemoglobin levels (p = 0.001) between the experimental group and the control group. Further research may be conducted by taking into account the consumption of foods containing iron using food consumption survey assessments so as to produce accurate data.
