N2 - Introduction: Anthropometric measurement is a non-invasive quantitative assessment that provides an evaluation of nutritional status in children and adults. Inaccurate and imprecise anthropometric measurements can result in invalid data, which cannot be used as a basis for interpreting nutritional status. Misinterpretation of nutritional status can lead to inaccuracies in the provided nutritional therapy for the relevant subjects. One of the nutritional statuses assessed based on anthropometric evaluation is the condition known as "stunting," which is a failure to grow due to prolonged nutritional deficiency, especially during the First 1000 Days of Life. One of the efforts made to address growth deficits includes providing Supplementary Feeding tailored to the target age group. Kangean Island, as one of the outermost islands in Madura, requires the empowerment of community health workers as individuals who convey essential information related to health and nutrition for the target population. Kangean Island possesses a local food resource, namely sea grapes, which can be utilized as a primary ingredient in the production of Supplementary Feeding. Delivering content about anthropometric measurements and Supplementary Feeding through oral presentations is one method that can be employed to enhance the audience's knowledge through one-way material exposition, followed by discussions and question-and-answer sessions. Objective: Enhancing the capacity of community health workers in conducting anthropometric measurements, particularly height and length measurements, is a crucial step in screening stunting with good validity. Providing insights into the types of supplementary foods that can serve as alternative options for catch-up growth menus sourced from affordable local ingredients. An increase in the knowledge of community health workers is anticipated through the indication of improved pretest and posttest scores before and after the intervention of oral presentations is carried out. Method: The intervention is provided orally using PowerPoint, with a material presentation duration of 45 minutes synchronously and 15 minutes asynchronously. The assessment of the knowledge level among community health workers (cadres) is measured through a pretest and posttest consisting of 15 questions, including 10 questions related to anthropometric screening of height and length, as well as 5 questions about Supplementary Feeding. Result: An increase in cadre knowledge has been observed, marked by posttest and pretest scores that have improved by 11 out of 100 points provided. A total of 70% of cadres have experienced an increase in knowledge, while 30% of cadres have not experienced any improvement in knowledge. All cadres involved in this study have not managed to surpass the minimum passing score threshold, which is 70 points out of a total of 100 points, equivalent to correctly answering 6-7 questions. The average number of correctly answered questions in the pretest was 3-4 questions. There has been an increase in the number of correctly answered questions, namely by 5-6 questions in the posttest, indicating an improvement in knowledge regarding anthropometric screening and supplementary feeding among the cadres. Conclusion: The oral presentation conducted to deliver materials related to stunting screening and Supplementary Feeding did not significantly enhance the community health workers' knowledge. One of the reasons for the suboptimal impact of the presentation is the excessively long duration of material exposition and ineffective interactive discussions. There is a need for the development of more practical and interactive nutritional education methods involving the audience. One approach is to utilize methods like emotional demonstration (emo demo) and direct live demonstrations that actively engage the participants for a more hands-on learning experience.
