Data are mean (SD), n/N (%), or median (IQR), unless indicated otherwise. All denominators are valid responses from the endline survey. 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.

*

Includes children aged 6–23 months 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.

§

Measured in 50% of households.

Confidence intervals are bias corrected estimated using non-parametric bootstrapping.
