These impediments are not only due to limited food availability but also inadequate knowledge, unfavorable attitudes, and low self-efficacy. A positive deviant approach (PDA) addressing positive and possible solutions inherent in a community focusing on problems is applied in Africa and particularly to Ethiopia. Therefore, this trial is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of PDA in improving mothers’ nutritional knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and children’s nutritional status.
