Introduction: Anemia is a condition where the body experiences a lack of iron levels which appears when blood hemoglobin (Hb) is less than normal (12 g/dl), with the age group that has the greatest risk, one of which is young women. Tried to intensify preventive efforts by administering blood supplement tablets (TTD), but these efforts have not worked as expected. This research was conducted to determine the factors that correlate with adherence to consuming blood supplement tablets (TTD) in young women. Method: The research took place at SMAN 6 Semarang, this research used observational analytics with a cross sectional design. The sample determined was 221 female students of class 11 science and 11 social studies, taken using simple random sampling calculations. Research data was obtained from the results of systematic questionnaire scores including knowledge, TTD distribution, attitudes, teacher support, parent support and peer support. Data analysis used univariate tests, bivariate tests with chi-square statistical tests, and multivariate tests with logistic regression analysis. Results: The data in this research shows that the variables that have a significant correlation with adherence to consuming blood supplement tablets are knowledge, TTD distribution, teacher support, and peer support with a p-value (<0.05). Variables that have no correlation with compliance with blood supplement tablet consumption are parental attitudes and support with a p-value (>0.05). The most dominant correlated variable is peer support. Conclusion: Compliance with the consumption of blood supplement tablets (TTD) among young women at SMAN 6 Semarang is still predominantly low, which is influenced by knowledge, distribution of TTD, teacher support and peer support.
