2.7. Training and Intervention Delivery
Enrollment and intervention delivery were conducted by home visitors who lived in the study communities. Home visitors participated in a 7-day training led by the research team on nutrition counseling, parental coaching, informed consent, and data entry using a combination of didactic instruction and role-playing. Due to safety concerns, all home visitors were male and reached the communities via motorbike. A supervisor with extensive field experience and a background in nutrition supervised the intervention delivery. Home visitors were scheduled to visit households at 3-week intervals for 6 months, where they delivered the interventions. Due to election-related violence in the communities, the study visits were curtailed at times and extended over 8 months, with a doubling of visits when necessary.
