The results of the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) show that 21.6% of toddlers are stunted in Indonesia. Stunting can cause stunted physical growth, mental development and health status in children. The impact of stunting can occur due to malnutrition during the first 1000 days of life (HPK). This research aims to determine the effect of playing snakes and ladders on pregnant women's knowledge about stunting prevention in Pulau Betung Village.
