The biggest obstacle to this effort is the lack of supporting facilities for marriage guidance, to help the availability of these facilities, namely by providing stunting prevention booklets for prospective brides and grooms. This study aims to determine how much impact the use of booklets by marriage registrars in premarital guidance has on increasing knowledge, attitudes and motivation, Behavioral Control, Subjective Norms and Health Literacy of prospective brides and grooms in preventing stunting.
