Penilaian tingkat kepuasan media nutrigo board game yaitu sangat disukai secara keseluruhan (83%). Hasil uji paired sample t-test diperoleh p-value (<0,001) yang artinya terdapat pengaruh signifikan pemberian edukasi gizi terhadap tingkat pengetahuan responden mengenai gizi seimbang. Uji statistik independent sample t-test diperoleh p-value (0,002) artinya terdapat perbedaan rata-rata yang signifikan antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol setelah diberikan edukasi.
