Effective educational media are needed as a promotive effort to change adolescent behavior. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of 2D animation video-based educational media on SSF in the prevention of NCDs. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach without a control group. The study was conducted at MTs Swasta Mafatihul Huda, Cirebon Regency, in August 2025. The sample was selected using purposive sampling techniques, consisting of 30 adolescents aged 12–15 years. The research instrument was a validated questionnaire on GGL knowledge. The intervention consisted of a single 15-minute screening of a 2D animated video about GGL restrictions. Statistical testing used the Wilcoxon test to analyze differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention. Results: Analysis showed an increase in respondents knowledge after receiving educational media in the form of 2D animated videos, with a significant difference (p<0.05). Conclusion: The 2D animation video-based educational media had a significant effect on improving adolescents knowledge about SSF in the prevention of NCDs.
