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)McNemar's test (P-value): group 1 = 12.00 (0.001); group 2 = 6.00 (0.014); group 3 = 5.00 (0.025).
3)Pearson's χ 2 (P-value) results: amount of sugar consumed (baseline) = 18.37 (0.105); (endline) = 14.80 (0.252).
