Kasus stunting di DI Yogyakarta sendiri berada di angka 16,6%, meskipun angka ini berada di bawah angka nasional (30,8%) dan permasalahan stunting di Kabupaten Sleman termasuk rendah yaitu 6,88%, namun kita tetap harus waspada karena jika dibiarkan dampaknya sangat serius terhadap pembentukan kualitas sumber daya manusia.

Abstract: The incidence of stunting in Indonesia is still high with a prevalence of 30.8%, where this figure is still above the WHO standard of 20%. Stunting cases in DI Yogyakarta itself are at 16.6%, even though this figure is below the national rate (30.8%) and the problem of stunting in Sleman Regency is low at 6.88%, but we still must be vigilant because if left unchecked the impact is very serious on the formation of the quality of human resources. The purpose of the stunting education program is to increase the knowledge of the people of Margomulya, Seyegan, Sleman about the prevention and management of stunting. The methods used are interactive lectures and question and answer. Participants in the interactive lecture were Margomulya Village Head, Seyegan Community Health Center Representative, UMY LPM Representative, KKN DPL Representative, KKN Student Representative, residents of Padukuhan Sompokan, Ngemplaksari, Jamblangan, and Jingin with a total of around 30 invitees. The results showed that the average score of public knowledge about stunting at the pre-test was 7.75 and at the time of the post-test it increased to 7.94. The impact of this service is an increase in public knowledge about stunting prevention and management with the difference in the mean score of knowledge of the extension participants during the pre-test and post-test with a figure of 0.19. For this reason, it is recommended to the public, especially mothers, to prevent stunting by fulfilling nutritional intake during pregnancy, childbirth and children before the age of 2 years.
