TABLE 2.

Effects of an integrated agriculture, nutrition, and health intervention on nutrition and health knowledge scores among a cohort of 505 women participating in the Mama SASHA cohort study in Western Kenya1

Scores at enrollment
Mean increase in scores from enrollment to the 9-mo postpartum visit
Index scores (possible range) INT (n = 250) CON (n = 255) P-difference2 INT (n = 193) CON (n = 192) DiD (95% CI)3
Nutrition and health knowledge (0–14) 3.7 ± 2.3 3.4 ± 2.2 0.45 2.6 ± 2.7 1.6 ± 2.2 1.0 (0.1, 1.9)*
VA knowledge domain (0–4) 1.0 ± 1.2 0.6 ± 1.2 0.04 1.0 ± 1.5 0.2 ± 1.2 0.8 (0.4, 1.2)
IYCF knowledge domain (0–8) 2.2 ± 1.5 2.4 ± 1.3 0.15 1.5 ± 1.8 1.2 ± 1.4 0.4 (−0.3, 1.1)

Values are mean ± SDs. *P < 0.05, P < 0.01. CON, control; DiD, difference in difference; INT, intervention; IYCF, infant and young child feeding; Mama SASHA, Sweetpotato Action for Security and Health in Africa; VA, vitamin A.

2

P values for the difference in mean scores at enrollment estimated from cluster-adjusted regression analyses.

3

Estimates and 95% CIs for differences in mean change in knowledge scores estimated from restricted maximum likelihood estimation by using mixed-effects models.
