aData are percent, unless otherwise indicated.

bSOC, standard of care; IYCF, infant and young child feeding; WASH, water, sanitation, and hygiene; WASH + IYCF, both IYCF and WASH implemented together.

cCombined WASH collapses the 2 WASH-containing arms (WASH and WASH + IYCF); non-WASH collapses the 2 arms not including WASH (SOC and IYCF). Combined IYCF collapses the 2 IYCF-containing arms (IYCF and WASH + IYCF); non-IYCF collapses the 2 arms not including IYCF (SOC and WASH).

dp-Values adjusted for clustering effect. Depending on the variable type, generalized estimating equation, multinomial, or ordinal regression models with robust variance estimation, or Somers’ D for medians, were used for comparing arms while handling within-cluster correlation.
