Preschool children are a vulnerable group that experiences a high incidence of caries. Eating disorders can affect the intake of nutritious food needed by the body. When children's nutrition is not fulfilled properly, children have the potential to experience stunting. When children are protected from dental disease, nutritional status will be met so that it can help prevent stunting in children. Dental health education using e-modules can increase parents' knowledge in maintaining their children's oral health. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oral health e-modules in increasing the knowledge of parents of preschool children about stunting prevention. The type of research used is Quasy Experiment with Pretest- Posttest Control Group Design. The sampling technique used total sampling because the population was less than 100 so that the entire population was used as a research sample. To determine the effect of the level of knowledge before and after being given the e-module using the Wilcoxon test while to determine the difference between the intervention group and the control group using the Mann Whitney U test. The results showed that there was a significant change in the average knowledge score before and after being given the e-module with ρ-value = 0.001 (ρ <0.05). The difference in knowledge scores after being given the e-module between the intervention group and the control group was obtained ρ-value = 0.001 (ρ<0.05) which means there is a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group. It is concluded that there is an effect of oral health e-modules in increasing the knowledge of parents of preschool children about stunting prevention. Further research is expected to develop the e-module into a more interactive mobile application.
