Adolescent girls are the highly vulnerable group to develop anemia due to reproductive immaturities, poor personal hygiene, lack of nutritional intake, and lack of health education in the rural area of Bangladesh. Rapid advantage of technology, eHealth is the promising tool to overcome the barriers and provide appropriate health guidelines in distant rural communities by developing knowledge, attitude, and practice to reduce anemia and mitigate risk among the school-going adolescent girls. This research aims (1) To evaluate eHealth education's impact on reducing anemia among adolescent girls in rural Bangladesh.

In this study, one school will be considered an intervention group and another school control group through the simple coin toss randomization technique. Then random sampling technique will be used to select study participants.
