Abstract

Background: Stunting has become a priority in Indonesia's development agenda that national and sub-national teams are established with multi-sectoral involvement to tackle the problem However, coordination hurdles, particularly at the mid-level, underscore the need for understanding frontline workers' capacity, prompting a study to conduct a training needs assessment (TNA) to bolster local governments' commitment to stunting and nutrition promotion. Methods: The TNA was conducted from July to November 2021 employing online quantitative survey and series of focus group discussions (FGDs) among central and local government officers. Quantitative data were about knowledge on stunting, attitudes toward program management, performance assessment, and capacity building needs. The FGDs focused stunting reduction program management and implementation capacity. Results: The present study highlighted the personal and organizational aspects of the management of stunting reduction program in Indonesia. The findings from both aspects were used to understand the needs and gaps revealed so that a relevant and appropriate training/capacity building program can be proposed. Conclusions: Capacity building is required to enhance local governments' commitment to stunting and nutrition promotion programs, particularly focusing on middle management to improve communication and foster multi-sectoral collaboration. Such efforts necessitate a team-based training program to develop skills in coordination and interprofessional collaboration.

It is essential to measure the relationship between nutrition labels and nutrition knowledge to understand its impact, especially among adolescents. Peers and social life encourage adolescents to choose specific actions, including food and drink, which affects their nutrition status. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design on 404 respondents in Semarang City. The instrument used was the Comprehensive General Nutrition and Nutrition Label Questionnaire (CGN2LQ). Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The statistical test used is the correlation test to determine the correlation between nutrition knowledge and nutrition label use for adolescents in Semarang City. The analysis showed a significant relationship between nutrition knowledge and nutrition label use (p<0.05). Results: The direction of the correlation is positive or unidirectional, meaning that the higher the nutrition knowledge of adolescents, the higher the use of nutrition labels on packaged products. The test results showed that the strength of the correlation was weak (r=0.333). The significant correlation but weak strength means that the correlation was statistically significant but not practically relevant. Conclusions: There is a need to increase the knowledge of nutrition in the adolescent age group to improve the habit of using nutrition labels on packaged products to determine the choice of packaged food and beverage consumed.
