Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue characterized by linear growth in children below the normal standard, typically resulting from chronic malnutrition from the prenatal period up to the first two years of life. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge regarding stunting prevention through balanced nutrition guidelines. The intervention utilized a social marketing approach employing flipchart media in Kabba Village, Pangkep Regency. The activity involved 25 participants (homemakers and community leaders) who attended interactive lectures facilitated by the flipchart media. The results demonstrate a significant knowledge gain: the proportion of participants categorized as having "good" knowledge increased from 52% in the pre-test to 84% in the post-test. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.003 (<0.005), indicating a statistically significant difference in knowledge before and after the intervention. The flipchart medium proved effective in delivering balanced nutrition material in a visually appealing and interactive manner, successfully enhancing participant understanding and fostering positive attitudes toward stunting prevention. Therefore, a social marketing approach leveraging interactive visual media can serve as a sustainable strategy for community health education programs, particularly for stunting prevention at the grassroots level.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease with a continuously increasing prevalence and poses a significant public health challenge. Early prevention efforts, particularly among junior high school adolescents, are essential to reduce the risk of developing diabetes in adulthood. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge of diabetes prevention through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. The activity was conducted among 23 ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Bontonompo Selatan Satap Salajo. A pre-experimental design using a one group pretest–posttest approach was applied. The intervention consisted of contextual and interactive health education delivered through lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Students’ knowledge levels were assessed using a 10-item questionnaire administered before and after the educational intervention. The results demonstrated an improvement in students’ knowledge, indicated by an increased proportion of students categorized as having good knowledge and a rise in the mean knowledge score from 59.13 in the pretest to 70 in the posttest. These findings indicate that school-based health education is an effective promotive and preventive strategy for early diabetes mellitus prevention.
