Anthropometric outcomes
SECONDARY, STUNTING
Stunting was the primary outcome measure for this study. In the treatment group, stunting rates for the sample of 24–35‐month‐old children, the age group with most exposure to the project at endline, decreased from 44.2% at baseline to 37.1% at endline. However, the control group experienced a similar decrease, so there were no significant impacts on stunting rates either for this age group (0.5 pp; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −3.0 to 4.1 pp) or for the full sample of 0–35‐month‐old children (0.3 pp; 95% CI: −2.3 to 2.9) (Table Impacts on anthropometric outcomes.
Abbreviation: HAZ, height‐for‐age z‐score.Adjusted for district, whether the respondent completed junior secondary school, wealth quintile, mother's age when the sampled child was born, birth order of the sampled child, the sampled child's gender and the baseline outcome at the district level. The design effect of cluster random assignment was accounted for using Stata's cluster option.
