Abstract

Child developmental delay is a public health issue that needs to be identified early to prevent long-term impacts on children’s quality of life. In Rantau Prapat Sub-district, cases are still found among toddlers with undernutrition, incomplete immunizations, and suboptimal developmental stimulation, which may pose risks of growth and developmental delays. This study aims to apply the Naive Bayes method in identifying child developmental delays based on health data collected through medical records and questionnaires. The research method includes data collection, pre-processing (cleaning, transformation, and normalization), classification using the Naive Bayes algorithm, and model validation with the k-fold cross-validation technique. The results showed that out of 150 toddler data samples, 30.7% experienced developmental delays, with the dominant influencing factors being nutritional status and immunization completeness. The Naive Bayes algorithm achieved an accuracy rate of 87.3% with a precision of 84.1%, recall of 85.7%, and F1-score of 84.9%. These findings demonstrate that Naive Bayes can be used as a decision support system in the early identification process of child developmental delays. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to assist healthcare workers, particularly midwives, in improving the quality of early detection and delivering more targeted interventions for children in the Rantau Prapat area.
