Abstract

Adolescence is the initial period of maturity of the reproductive organs in humans or the so-called
puberty. Based on previous preliminary studies, adolescents prefer sources of reproductive health information
obtained from peers and parents, but if this is not given an explanation from health workers directly it will cause
different perceptions from each teenager which can cause gaps. Based on the preliminary study, researchers are
