Abstract

Sustainable Development Goals abbreviated as SDGs in fifth goal is about gender equality, namely Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. This study investigates the impact of health promotion using video on adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward early marriage. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group method was employed to compare knowledge and attitudes before and after health counseling in junior high school168 and junior high school 172 Jakarta. Data was collected using questionnaires distributed to 95 respondents aged 15-17. Statistical analysis showed that video media did not significantly impact knowledge and attitudes (p>0.05). Factors such as environmental influences, prolonged video duration, and pandemic restrictions may have affected outcomes. Recommendations include utilizing more engaging and accessible formats to enhance knowledge retention and attitude shifts toward early marriage.
