In reproductive-age women, including pregnant women, CED is characterized by a body weight <40 kg, a thin appearance, and an upper arm circumference (UAC) <23.4 cm. This research seeks to ascertain the effectiveness of educational materials in the form of leaflets, fans, and TikTok videos on improving knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women toward CED. The method used was a pretest-posttest design that's quasi-experimental approach, involving 30 pregnant selected through purposive sampling. The Paired Sample T-Test was used for data analysis via SPSS version 27.
