Community-Led Total Sanitation (CTLS) program is one of the programs that can reduce stunting cases.

Method: This study is a cross-sectional study. The sampling technique used was purposive Sampling with a total of 88 children under five. Data analysis was performed by univariate, bivariate with chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression by SPSS 20.0 version. Results: The study showed that the factors found to be associated with the incidence of stunting were defecations habits (p-value = 0.025), Washing hands with Soap Behaviour (WHSB) (p-value = 0.033), and bacteriology in water (p-value = 0.000). Bacteriology in water is the factor that has the strongest influence on the incidence of stunting with an OR value of 17,041.
