Implication of the study
This intervention study is quite relevant and contributes to the field of public health and particularly to nutrition programs by inspiring the public health practitioner toward community-based participatory approaches to resolving nutrition-related issues in the study area and beyond. The study showed the effectiveness of PDA in improving maternal nutrition-related knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and a child’s nutritional status (reducing underweight) in the study area. This study also encourages future researchers to solve community problems with solutions that emerge from the community.
