| Summary: | Background: Anemia represents a significant global public health concern, particularly impacting adolescent girls. Objective: This study aims to examine the coverage of school-based iron supplementation programs across different regions in Indonesia. Methods: We analyzed secondary data from the Basic Health Research 2018 using a cross-sectional design. Results: The highest coverage was observed in Sulawesi (83.6%), whereas Papua reported the lowest coverage (64.4%). Disparities in providing school-based iron supplementation among adolescent girls across Indonesian regions are evident. Conclusion: Highlighting regional differences in the provision of iron supplementation underscores the need for tailored strategies to address disparities in healthcare access and outcomes across Indonesia. |
