    Introduction: A cross-sectional study was conducted to provide preliminary insight of Awareness, Knowledge and Attitude (AKA) assessment on urinary tract infection (UTI) among adolescents which includes the general level of AKA and correlation between the domains as well as the relationship between Total AKA and the sociodemographic factors. Methods: A modified and adapted questionnaire was developed, consisting of socio-demographic questions and AKA domains employing descriptive statistics, linear regression and multiple regression analysis via SPSS Ver- sion 23.0. Results: In general, AKA level was reported as moderate (0.5 ± 0.11). Among the three domains, Knowl- edge (0.70 ± 0.12) risen with the most astounding mean, took after Awareness (0.36 ± 0.22) and Attitude (0.65 ± 0.11). A positive but weak correlation was found between the domains; Awareness and Knowledge is significant at p = 0.034, r = 0.157; R2 = 0.02 and similarly, a weak correlation was also found between Knowledge and Attitude which is significant at p = 0.000, r = 0.411; R2 = 0.17. After covariates adjustment, female gender was found to have the strongest relationship with Total AKA. Conclusion: The general level of Total AKA on UTI is moderate. The AKA domains in this study was found to be positively correlated and female was found to be the best predictor for a better Total AKA on UTI. Thus, these findings provide important information to formulate an effective education interven- tion to improve the AKA on UTI among adolescents.
