Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of the food bar made from api-api mangrove (Avicennia marina) and sword bean (Canavalia ensiformis) blends on the weight and Weight-for-Age Z score affected by a landslide disaster.
The main questions aimed to answer are:
- Food bar supplementation can effect the weight and WAZ score of under-five children affected by landslides disaster?
- Balanced nutrition education can increase the mothers' knowledge on the balanced nutrition of under-five children?
Participants divided in to two group i.e.:
- Treatment/intervention group consumed 50 g mangrove sword bean food bar each day during 15 days.
- Control group consumed 50 g sword bean food bar each day during 15 days.
- Each group received balanced nutrition for mothers once at the first week of study.
