The "Desa Sehat Berdaya: Digital-Based Health and Local Economy Innovation" program was implemented in Bulawan 2 Village to address low awareness of preventive health, Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS), and limited social education for children and adolescents on bullying, early marriage, and drug abuse (NAPZA). The goal was to improve public health through promotive-preventive interventions, enhance health cadre capacity for sustainable village programs, and increase understanding of healthy behaviors and social risks among youth. A participatory-collaborative approach was used, involving community organization, multi-party coordination, program presentation, intervention implementation, evaluation, and follow-up with health cadres, alongside simple digital media utilization. Results showed increased community participation in posyandu, healthy exercises, and free health checkups, as well as improved cadre capacity through MP-ASI training. For youth, PHBS socialization, anti-bullying, early marriage education, and NAPZA awareness enhanced understanding of healthy behaviors and social issues. Collaboration with Karang Taruna strengthened youth participation and social cohesion.

The quality of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) for infants aged 6–23 months is a key factor in supporting growth and preventing early nutritional problems. However, MP-ASI practices that do not comply with recommendations are still common, especially in areas with limited access to nutrition information and education. One of the promotive-preventive efforts developed in primary health care is the implementation of toddler classes. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of toddler classes in improving the nutritional quality of infants receiving MP-ASI in the working area of the Popayato Timur Community Health Center. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 33 infants aged 6–23 months selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through infant anthropometric measurements to assess nutritional status based on indicators of weight for age (BW/A) and weight for length/height (BW/H), as well as assessing the quality of MP-ASI using quality scores before and after the intervention. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially using paired statistical tests. The results showed an increase in the quality of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) after the implementation of toddler classes, accompanied by improvements in infant nutritional status based on indicators of weight for age and weight for height, with a statistically significant difference between conditions before and after the intervention. In conclusion, toddler classes are effective in improving the quality of complementary feeding and infant nutritional status, thus potentially being an applicable educational strategy in efforts to improve infant nutrition in primary health care.

Toddlers are a vulnerable group prone to health problems and malnutrition due to their rapid growth and high nutritional needs. Nutritional status serves as an indicator of adequate dietary intake, commonly assessed through weight and height measurements. Malnutrition, particularly among children aged 2-5 years, often occurs as they transition to family diets while maintaining high physical activity levels. Appropriate complementary feeding starting at six months (MP-ASI) is essential to support optimal growth and development. The Complementary Feeding Program includes porridge for infants aged 6-11 months and biscuits for children aged 12-24 months, aiming to improve nutritional status, especially among low-income families. Supplementary feeding (PMT) is an intervention designed to enhance the nutritional status of malnourished children without replacing their main daily meals. This study aims to examine the effect of the supplementary feeding program on weight changes among malnourished infants aged 6-11 months at the Tiley Health Center. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with total sampling of 20 mothers with malnourished infants. Data were collected using questionnaires and weight observation sheets and analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant effect (p < 0.05), indicating that the supplementary feeding program improves infants’ weight.

This study aims to determine the comparison of Instant and Homemade MP-ASI to meet the nutritional status of infants aged 6-12 months in the working area of Cio Maloleo Health Center. Instant MP-ASI is made based on special provisions set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The type of research used in this study is comparative research, namely comparing the mean growth value of children given Homemade MP-ASI and instant MP-ASI. The measurement scale used is a ratio scale used to determine the comparison of Instant and Homemade MP-ASI. This study uses an Independent t-test analysis. Based on the output results that have been presented, it was found that the significance value (2-tailed) is 0.348, which is greater than 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no significant difference in the average provision of Instant and Homemade MP-ASI.  

The problem of anemia in adolescents is still a fundamental problem in the world. Anemia is associated with insufficient food intake and low food quality. Factors that correlate with the incidence of anemia in adolescents both in urban and rural areas are age, sex, health status of toddlers (ARI, diarrhea, tuberculosis), physical activity, nutritional status, breakfast, and diet, parenting and so on. This study aims to determine the anemia in adolescents. This study is an observational analytical study with a cross sectional design. This research was conducted in February-March 2024 in Cinta Damai Village, West Tanjung Jabung Regency. The population in this study were all toddlers aged 12-18 years.

The period from infancy in the womb to the first few years of birth is known as the Golden Age, which is a golden period in growth and development in human life. The Golden age is also known as a critical time which, if not used properly, will cause permanent damage. Nutritional intake has an important role in the Golden Age period. Not fulfilling adequate nutritional intake at this time will greatly affect the growth and development of children. The provision of complementary food for ASI (MP-ASI) is one of the factors that can influence this growth and development. Given the importance of nutritional intake during this golden period of child development, it is necessary to provide complementary feeding education to mothers. As the smallest and foremost structure in government health services, posyandu cadres are expected to be able to empower mothers to pay attention to children's health, especially in providing MP-ASI. This community service was carried out with the target of posyandu cadres in Padanglampe Village, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. This community service activity uses an action research approach. This activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of the cadres which were measured using questions before and after the intervention. Sustainability coaching is needed for cadres in order to obtain updated knowledge and skills, especially those related to balanced nutrition, so that they have sufficient provisions in empowering family nutrition.
