Data are n/N (%), mean (SD), or median (IQR). NSA=nutrition-sensitive agriculture. AGRI=group assigned to NSA videos. AGRI-NUT=group assigned to NSA and nutrition-specific videos. AGRI-NUT+PLA=group assigned to NSA videos and a nutrition-specific participatory learning and action cycle meetings and videos. MUAC=mid-upper arm circumference. INR=Indian Rupees.
Includes children aged 6–23 months.
Includes non-pregnant, non-postpartum women only.
Includes non-pregnant women only.
Gender parity achieved when women have equal or higher empowerment scores than men; empowerment scores are calculated for men and women as weighted sums of five indicators: decision making, asset ownership, access to credit, group membership, and time use, measured in 50% of households; excludes female-only households.
Valid measurements from expenditure questionnaire, administered on 50% of households.
