Upaya penanggulangan anemia ibu hamil dengan pemberian suplementasi besi-folat satu kali sehari, walaupun ibu hamil tidak teratur minum suplemen karena keluhan efek samping seperti mual dan muntah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh pemberian suplementasi besi-folat program satu kali sehari dan dua kali seminggu terhadap kadar hemoglobin ibu hamil di Kabupaten Pringsewu tahun 2013. Desain penelitian kuasi eksperimen (non-randomized pre test-post test control group design) pada 96 ibu hamil yang berusia 20-35 tahun dengan usia kehamilan 10-30 minggu secara purposive sampling dibagi tiga kelompok yaitu TTD1, TTD2, dan TTDF masing-masing 32 orang. Data penelitian bersumber data primer hasil pengukuran kadar hemoglobin. Analisis data menggunakan uji beda dua mean dan regresi linear ganda.
