The sample number is 42 people and 21 in each group. The intervention given was a monitoring card and consumption guideline, while the control group was only given consumption guideline. Monitoring of tablet consumption is carried out by the husband or relatives every day. The equipment for hemoglobin levels used hemoglobinometer digital. HB level was measured after 1 month of consuming IFA. The results described that the mean difference in the consumption of IFA and hemoglobin levels between groups was 1.86 (p-value 0,042) and the hemoglobin level was 0.36 (p-value 0,047).
