This study evaluated an educational intervention about stunting and moringa leaf (Kelor) pudding for mothers with young children in Indonesia. Seventeen mothers attended a two-stage program: first learning about stunting and child nutrition, then demonstrating how to make moringa pudding. Knowledge was measured using questionnaires before and after the intervention. The study found that most mothers had improved their understanding of stunting and nutrition, with nutritious food not requiring expensive ingredients.

Key points

Ten mothers had inadequate knowledge about stunting before the intervention
After the intervention, only 2 mothers had inadequate knowledge
The intervention consisted of education about stunting and nutritional intake combined with practical demonstration of moringa pudding preparation
Moringa leaf is presented as an accessible, locally available food with proven nutritional content to support child growth and development
The study emphasizes that nutritious foods for children do not have to be expensive

Limitations

This is a small-scale study with 17 participants and no comparison group, so results cannot be generalized. The document does not report whether knowledge changes translated into actual behavioral changes or improvements in child nutritional status or stunting rates.
