Article Synopsis
- Stunting in North Sumatera, Indonesia is a major public health issue linked to poor nutrition in the first 1000 days of life, and this study focuses on pre-marital education as a potential solution.
- The research involved 1000 prospective couples and used structured questionnaires and Structural Equation Modeling to analyze the data, revealing that pre-marital education significantly boosts knowledge about nutrition and stunting prevention.
- Despite improved knowledge, a surprising finding was that higher awareness of stunting sometimes correlated with poorer nutritional status, leading to the conclusion that pre-marital education content needs a revision to better address specific regional health challenges.
