Then in the overall stunting score column from the analysis results it was found that 182 people (62.3%) had good knowledge of stunting and 110 people (37.7%) were in the poor category. For the information source variable, it was found that 138 people (47.3%) received stunting information from health workers/cadres, 65 people from the mass media (22.3%), 64 people (21.9%) from other people. and family/parents as many as 25 people (8.6%).
