The population, namely all students for the 2019-2020 period, totaled 946 people with a sample size of 90 people who were stabilized by the Cluster Random Sampling technique. The results of statistical tests showed that at the pretest it was known that most of them had good knowledge, namely 62.2%, and in the post-test, good knowledge reached 98.9%. This study shows the effect of health education on knowledge about free sexual behavior (p-value 0.000 <0.05).
