p < 0.05,

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