Overview
Brief Summary
Stunting and anemia amongst under-two children are attributable to poor nutrient intakes. The study evaluates the effectiveness of nutrition education on local specific food-based complementary feeding recommendation (CFR) to improve dietary patterns and nutritional intakes, as well as reduce stunting and anemia among under-two children.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in hemoglobin status
Time Frame: At baseline before intervention (week 0), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)
to measure the change in hemoglobin (g/L) before and after intervention
Change in iron status
Time Frame: At baseline before intervention (week 0), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)
to measure the change in serum ferritin (microgram/L) before and after intervention
Change in anthropometric measurements
Time Frame: At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)
to measure the change in length measured by using WHO growth standard length-for-Age (Z-Score) before and after intervention period.
Change in zinc status
Time Frame: At baseline before intervention (week 0), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)
to measure the change in serum zinc (mg/L) before and after intervention
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in dietary patterns(At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24))
- Change in iron intake(At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24))
- Change in zinc intake(At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24))
- Change in calcium intake(At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24))
