Abstract
Obesity is a problem that concerns all over the world continued to rise in adults, adolescents, and children. The study aims to figure out the effect of health promotion on the behavior of adolescents in managing obesity. This research was done using a quasi-experimental design with adolescents who are obese subjects. A self-Reported questionnaire measured behavior. The data are analyzed using paired-samples t-test or Wilcoxon. The results showed that health promotion interventions had been able to increase the awareness, knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and intentions (in doing the physical level of activity) in the management of obese adolescents, both in physical exercise or the management of food intake. The school-based health promotion intervention has been able to improve the behavior of adolescents to obesity management.
