Baseline (n = 2048) Follow-up (n = 1966) Baseline (n = 2060) Follow-up (n = 1987)
Descriptive norms 1.08 (0.62) 1.23 (0.62) < 0.001 1.07 (0.60) 2.06 (0.67) < 0.001 < 0.001
Injunctive norms 2.66 (0.74) 2.92 (0.75) < 0.001 2.55 (0.74) 3.60 (0.59) < 0.001 < 0.001
Collective norms 0.39 (0.32) 0.30 (0.24) < 0.001 0.39 (0.26) 1.57 (0.87) < 0.001 < 0.001
Iron and folic acid consumption 0.39 (1.90) 0.31 (1.57) NS 0.39 (1.92) 1.62 (3.17) < 0.001 < 0.001

NS: not significant; SD: standard deviation.

a Compares differences in key variables from baseline to follow-up in the control arm with differences in the same variables in the intervention arm.

Note: For all variables, higher scores signify greater iron and folic acid consumption (and supportive norms for this consumption).
