Linear Programming Approach to Develop Local Specific Food-based Complementary Feeding Recommendation

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Anemia; Indonesia; Complementary Feeding Recommendation; Problem Nutrients; Stunting; Linear Programming; Infant and Young Children
• Interventions: Behavioral: Enhanced NE; Behavioral: Standard NE

• Registration Number: NCT03895164
• Lead Sponsor: SEAMEO Regional Centre for Food and Nutrition

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in hemoglobin status	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	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	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	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in dietary patterns	At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)	Dietary patterns will be measured by using Dietary Diversity Score
Change in iron intake	At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)	iron intake (mg/day)
Change in zinc intake	At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)	zinc intake (mg/day)
Change in calcium intake	At baseline before intervention (week 0), at midpoint of intervention (week 12), at endpoint after intervention (week 24)	calcium intake (mg/day)
