Values are cluster- and covariate-adjusted least-squares means ± SEs. A total of 505 women (250 INT, 255 CON) were enrolled and had data available at enrollment, 383 women (178 INT, 205 CON) had data available at visit 2, 401 (196 INT, 205 CON) at visit 3, and 385 (193 INT, 192 CON) at visit 4. *P < 0.10, **P < 0.05, P < 0.01. CON, control; INT, intervention; VA-FV, vitamin A–rich fruit and vegetable; WDDS, women’s dietary diversity score (based on consuming food groups on 3 of 7 previous days).

Difference in difference estimates are the interaction term of treatment and time derived from restricted maximum likelihood estimations of longitudinal data by using mixed-effects models.
