Introduction: Anemia in adolescents (rematriates) is a common health problem that negatively affects physical development and academic performance. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls reaches 23% of the population. Low adherence to the consumption of blood supplement tablets (TTD) is one of the main causes of the high prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls. To overcome this, the government has launched a program to provide TTD to adolescent girls through the School Health Unit. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in class X students of SMA Negeri 6 SIDRAP students. Method: This study used quantitative method with cross sectional design. The sample consisted of 117 class X students selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and examination of hemoglobin (Hb) levels and analyzed using the chi square test. Results: The results of this study showed that there was no significant relationship between the variables of knowledge (p value = 0.133), health worker support (p = value 0.320) and school support (p value = 0323) with the incidence of anemia. However, there was a significant relationship between family support (p value = 0.037) and the incidence of anemia. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that family support has an important role in reducing the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. This finding is expected to be the basis for schools and health workers to strengthen the role of families in the program.
