Abstract

Backgorund: Stunting remains a global issue in Indonesia. Bondowoso is among the regencies with the highest prevalence of stunting in East Java, with 17 villages designated as focal points for stunting prevention and management, one of which is Tangsil Kulon. The number of stunted children in Tangsil Kulon has reached 43 toddlers. The primary causes of stunting in Tangsil Kulon are pregnant women experiencing anemia and the low intake of iron tablets and nutritious food among adolescent girls. Therefore, it is crucial to raise public awareness, particularly among teenage girls, about stunting in Tangsil Kulon by implementing health literacy. Method: This activity was carried out using lecture methods, product creation, and demonstration. Result: The results showed that participants' knowledge increased by more than 40%. Additionally. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the intervention efforts were effective in improving knowledge through the application of health literacy.
