ABSTRACT Anemia is a condition in which the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is lower than normal. Adolescents are one of the age groups that are prone to anemia. Knowledge about anemia, adherence to consumption of iron tablets, and hydration status are factors that can influence the occurrence of anemia in adolescents. The knowledge of SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Surakarta students about anemia and the importance of consuming iron supplements, as well as knowledge about adequate hydration is still lacking. Counseling about these matters has not been carried out optimally at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Surakarta. This community service is carried out through counseling media aimed at increasing students' knowledge, especially about anemia and the importance of consuming iron supplements, as well as knowledge about adequate hydration. From the results of the evaluation of pretest and posttest scores, a significant difference was found, with a p-value of <0.0, where the average posttest score was higher than the pretest score. In other word, this counseling succeeded in significantly increasing students' knowledge about anemia and the importance of consuming iron supplements, as well as knowledge about adequate hydration.
