The Indonesian Ministry of Health recorded 377,650 HIV cases and 145,037 AIDS cases in 2023, mostly among those of productive age, 3.7% of whom were adolescents. Health education is considered crucial in early HIV/AIDS prevention. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using animated videos on attitudes toward HIV/AIDS prevention among adolescents at SMA Negeri 1 Ponorogo.
The research design used a pre-experimental approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest model. The sample consisted of 81 eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Ponorogo, selected through simple random sampling.
