The sample was 230 respondents, selected through purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman-Rho correlation statistical test. This study has been ethically approved by the ethics commission of ITEKES Bali. The results of this study showed that all respondents (100%) had a good knowledge and good behavior in stunting prevention. The correlation test revealed a significant correlation between the level of knowledge and behavior of mothers in stunting prevention p-value 0,001 with a value of r 0,269.
