CADET, Child and Diet Evaluation Tool.
1)Group 1, feeding only; group 2, nutrition classes only; group 3, feeding and nutrition classes; group 4, current DepEd feeding and nutrition classes.
2)Pearson's χ 2 (P-value) results: cups of rice consumed by children (baseline) = 13.11 (0.361); (endline) = 9.34 (0.407).
3)Multiple response.
4)McNemar's test (P-value): group 1 = 7.00 (0.008); group 2 = 10.00 (0.002); group 3 = 6.00 (0.014).
