However, reports from several countries indicate poor use of growth chart by mothers and health workers. A simple and informative growth chart is currently needed to be used as educational tool for mothers to easily comprehend their childrens growth. The objective of study was to investigate the impact of modified growth chart on child weight gain. The study was a quasy experimental with the non equivalent control group design approach. Children in intervention group used modified chart while children in control group used normal growth chart. Childs weight was collected for ten months using hanging scale. Data was analyzed two times; at the first five month and at the second five month. T-test independent was used for statistical analysis. At the baseline there was no significant difference of child weight between intervention and control group (p>0.05). However at the first month there was significantly difference in child weight of age group 14-17 months (p<0.05) and for age group 16-18 months at the second five month (p<0.05). Modified growth chart effectively improved child weight gain and highly suggested to be used in Posyandu.]]>Brownlee, A.,19901990Fagerlin, A., P.A. Ubel, D.M. Smith and B.J.
