In Batam itself, health care coverage for adolescents and youth during 2014, there
were 32 pregnant teenagers and 142 teenagers had to be into labor at age <20 years
old. Teenagers with Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) were 110 people.
Teenagers who were infected by ISR (Infeksi Saluran Reproduksi, Reproductive Tract
Infections) were 126 people. Teenagers with HIV and AIDS were 300 people. The

the understanding of adolescents about sex education in SMP (Junior High School)

techniques t-Tests. From the results the average score of understanding before
