Early marriage is a marriage between a partner or one of the partners who is under 19 years of age. Data shows that the incidence of early marriage in Indonesia is still high, which will have an impact on teenagers and children who are born. This is one of the obstacles to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The occurrence of early marriage can be influenced by the knowledge and attitudes of teenagers, so efforts that can be made to overcome this are by providing information through health promotion activities using video and comic media. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of videos and comics on students' knowledge and attitudes about early marriage at SMAN 2 Plus Panybungan.
