Abstract

This study analysed the impact of a Marpokkat intervention on the health status of stunted/non-stunted children. This study was quantitative with a quasi-experimental post-test-only design. Intervention with health counselling about stunting in accordance with the cultural and social aspects of the surrounding community involves community and traditional leaders. The population comprised mothers and families who had children aged five years, with a total population of 250, with a sample of 86 respondents consisting of intervention and control groups. The instrument contained demographic data and the status of stunted/non-stunted children using the Child Anthropometry Standard. Data were analysed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests with the chi-square test. The intervention results were significant (p=0.001); (odds ratio [OR]: 9.759). This program will improve children's health status and prevent stunting
