Complementary food supplements were not included in the calculation of the MDD. HFI, household food-insecurity score; LSI, living standards index of socioeconomic status; MDD, minimum dietary diversity (dietary diversity score ≥4); SSC, secondary school certificate.
Univariate models are logistic regressions with the MDD as the outcome and indicator variables for levels of one of the child or household characteristics as predictors with SEs adjusted for design effect.
Multivariable models are logistic regressions with the MDD as the outcome and indicator variables for all listed child and household characteristics, adjusted for these other maternal and household characteristics: child age, assigned supplementation group, breastfeeding continuation to 18 mo of age (yes or no), number of household members, maternal employment (working outside of the home compared with not working outside of the home), maternal age, household land ownership, and ownership of cattle, goats and sheep, and chickens with SEs adjusted for design effect.
