Values are βs (95% CIs) unless otherwise indicated. The predicted change in HAZs caused by changes in means multiplied by their respective coefficients from model 3 from Table 2 is shown. The decomposition is based on model 3 from Table 2, which includes both socioeconomic characteristics and behavioral factors plus other covariates and intervention group. †,*,**,***Significant differences: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, †P < 0.10. HAZ, height-for-age z score; IYCF, infant and young child feeding; SES, socioeconomic status.
