Abstract

Malnutrition remains a major public health issue in rural areas of Indonesia, characterized by the prevalence of undernutrition such as stunting and wasting, alongside rising rates of overnutrition including obesity. This condition is worsened by low levels of nutrition literacy, particularly among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, caregivers of young children, and the elderly. This community service program aimed to enhance public understanding of balanced nutrition through a participatory, community-based education approach. The intervention was conducted in Tanjungkenongo Village using a one-group pretest–posttest design with a five-item true–false questionnaire. Results from the Paired Sample T-Test revealed a statistically significant improvement in participants’ knowledge scores (p < 0.001), with the mean score increasing from 3.00 in the pre-test to 3.43 in the post-test. These findings confirm that balanced nutrition education can effectively improve nutrition literacy among rural vulnerable populations. The program is recommended for integration into village-level health promotion efforts such as posyandu and women’s community groups to support sustained efforts in addressing the double burden of malnutrition.
