PDQS, Prime Diet Quality Score,

*

p < 0.05,

** p < 0.01,

***

p < 0.001. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) linear models with exchangeable correlation, controlling for clustering by village pair, were used to evaluate the association of women's empowerment with maternal diet quality.

a

Women's participation is calculated as the number of agricultural activities that women participate in. Classified as tertiles.

b

Adjusted models control for treatment assignment (interventions vs. control), woman's age (18–24 years, 25–34 years, 35–49 years), woman's education (none, primary, secondary and higher), parity (0–2, 3+), wealth index (quintiles), land size (acres), weekly income (log), food expenditure (log), and distance to market.
