Bantul Regency, as part of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, faces a similar problem, early marriage rates are relatively high. This is crucial because early marriage is vulnerable to various problems, including physical and mental health problems.

Besides, this research also focuses on health communication by the government to educate adolescents related to sex education.

The data analysis technique used is a cross-site analysis. The validity test in this study uses source triangulation and method triangulation.
