Cost-effectiveness estimates by intervention

	UCT + LNS		UCT+SBCC		UCT+LNS+SBCC
Results	Six mo intervention (age of 12 mo)*	18 mo intervention (age of 24 mo)	Six mo intervention (age of 12 mo)	18 mo intervention (age of 24 mo)	Six mo intervention (age of 12 mo)	18 mo intervention (age of 24 mo)
Percentage reduction in prevalence of stunting	8.3	7.6	NS	NS	10.0	7.5
Number of cases of stunting averted	34	36			36	41
Cost per case of stunting averted (unadjusted) in USD	278.74	897.15			846.48	2324.58
Cost per case of stunting averted (adjusted) in USD	306.61	986.86			931.13	2530.27

LNS – lipid-based nutrient supplement, mo – month, NS – not significant, SBCC – social and behaviour change communication, UCT – unconditional cash transfers

*Sample size examined at six and 18 mo of intervention differed, hence prevalence reported differed as well.
