Contexto
What changed: The intervention used community resource person couples for household counseling, behavioral triggers (nutrition calendars, shopping bags), and male peer groups to foster shared meal planning and child feeding. Comparison: Matched control block within the same district surveyed before and after an 8-month period. Limits: Quasi-experimental design without randomization, potential social desirability bias in self-reported dietary recalls, and short follow-up.
