Method: The data were analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression statistical test. Results: The findings revealed a significant relationship between ARH behaviors and access to information about ARH from various information media (p-value = 0.001) as well as between ARH behaviors and knowledge of ARH (p-value = 0.001). The findings suggested that health promotion for ARH should be enhanced by providing access to information from various social media commonly used by adolescents, which can increase knowledge about ARH and influence adolescent behaviors toward good reproductive health. }, issn = {2620-4053}, pages = {1--10} doi = {10.14710/jpki.19.1.1-10}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/jpki/article/view/53140} }
