Abstract
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that significantly affects the growth and development of children, particularly those aged 12–59 months. Posyandu cadres play a vital role in assisting parents in providing appropriate feeding practices for their children. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of training using booklet media in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of cadres in stunting-related child feeding assistance. This research employed a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design involving 10 Posyandu cadres in the working area of  Health Center. The results of paired t-test and Wilcoxon tests showed significant improvements in knowledge (p = 0.000), attitude (p = 0.000), and practice (p = 0.000) after the intervention. The booklet proved to be an effective educational tool to enhance the capacity of Posyandu cadres. These findings recommend the use of booklets as a sustainable educational strategy in community-based stunting reduction programs.
