Abstract

This research aims to analyze more deeply the knowledge that mothers have about stunting and pregnancy in areas with special locations for stunting prevention.. This research was designed by compiling a structured questionnaire consisting of 2 groups of questions, namely knowledge questions about stunting consisting of 14 questions and questions about pregnancy consisting of 21 questions. Each question is given a score and then formulated to get the final scoring for each respondent. The research results show that the average value of respondents' knowledge about stunting was 3.36 and the average value of respondents' knowledge about pregnancy was 13.70. After being categorized based on the average value, the average knowledge of respondents regarding stunting was 52% in the sufficient category, and respondents' knowledge about pregnancy was 66% in the sufficient category.  However, increasing maternal knowledge about stunting and pregnancy needs to be increased to 100% to be the basis for preventing stunting in the future.
