Stunting prevention education is essentially an activity or effort to convey messages to communities, groups, or individuals with the expectation that they will gain knowledge that can influence their attitudes and behaviors. The youth of the Al Muhajirin Mosque in Pangkalan Jati, Cinere, Depok, have limited knowledge regarding the dangers of anemia among adolescent girls and its link to stunting.
