Addressing and reducing the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia, supported by the reduction of stunting in various
regions throughout the country, is a highly relevant program in achieving Indonesia's vision for 2045 as declared by the
President of the Republic of Indonesia. In realizing this vision, the program to reduce the prevalence of stunting in
Indonesia becomes highly relevant to achieve this overarching goal. Therefore, all elements of society, in accordance
with their respective roles, can contribute to supporting the realization of Indonesia's advanced vision. Hence, studies
regarding the condition of stunting in its various dimensions become very important and relevant. The purpose of this
Community Engagement activity is to: 1) Analyze the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of young generations in
stunting prevention in a rural village; 2) Enhance the role of young generations in stunting prevention in their village.
The Community Engagement activity was conducted in Abang Village, Karangasem Regency. This regency was chosen
because it has the highest prevalence of stunting among the regencies in Bali Province. The activity involved young
people in the village, known as "Sekehe Teruna Teruni," as participants in the event, which provided Communication,
Information, and Education (KIE) related to stunting prevention. There were three resource persons for this activity,
including an academic, a healthcare professional, and a Family Planning field educator. After the socialization, an
evaluation was conducted on the participants, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis
revealed the following: 1) About 70% of the participants had heard of the stunting phenomenon, while the remaining 30%
had not. Approximately 96% of the participants increased their knowledge about stunting after the KIE, with only about
4% not experiencing an increase in their knowledge. This increase in knowledge influenced their attitudes, making them
more willing to participate in stunting prevention through family planning, 2) Data analysis indicated that all
participants, 100%, expressed their intent to plan the number of children they would have when they get married
according to their economic and other capabilities. Generasi muda berperan penting dalam penurunan/ pencegahan
stunting karena generasi muda ini yang akan melahirkan anak-anak nantinya sehingga dapat dijaga kualitas anak yang
dilahirkan sehingga stunting dapat dicegah/ diturunkan dengan peran dari generasi muda tersebut.
