Health promotion media can play an important role in increasing awareness and influencing maternal behavior in addressing malnutrition.

Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that: Health promotion media significantly influence mothers' knowledge of malnutrition (p=0.001).
