Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts the quality of children's health and development, especially during the First 1,000 Days of Life (HPK). Slamparejo Village, Jabung District, Malang Regency, is an area that has shown a downward trend in stunting rates in recent years. This study aims to analyze the determinants influencing the decline in stunting rates in Slamparejo Village through a public health approach and family empowerment. The method used is a descriptive-qualitative approach with data collection through field observations, interviews with village officials, integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres, and health program documentation. The results show that the decline in stunting rates is influenced by several main factors, namely increased coverage of Posyandu services, nutrition education for pregnant women and mothers of toddlers, provision of supplementary feeding (PMT), routine growth monitoring, and active family involvement in meeting children's nutritional needs. In addition, cross-sectoral support such as from the village government, community health centers, and health cadres is a strengthening factor in the program's success. The study's conclusions indicate that the reduction in stunting in Slamparejo Village is influenced not only by health interventions but also by family awareness of childcare, balanced nutrition, and increased community participation. The sustainability of the program and strengthening the role of families need to be continuously promoted as key strategies for long-term stunting prevention.
