This activity involves collaboration between IAIN Metro's community service team in collaboration with students from UM Metro Lampung university as well as health workers such as village midwives and posyandu cadres and local residents. The method used is PAR (Participatory Action Research), which is an activity carried out by involving villagers to jointly solve social problems that occur. The results of this community service activity are that the community knows information about stunting through socialization and educational leaflets distributed, the community knows the food menu with balanced nutrition by utilizing local food ingredients through training in healthy kitchen management to prevent stunting and more people are aware of the importance of creating a quality family so that the incidence of stunting can be reduced.
