| Parameter | Beta coefficient | SE | 95% CI | p | AOR | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 0.693 | 0.1961 | 0.309, 1.078 | <0.001 | 2.00 | 1.36, 2.94 |
| Couple group (Baseline DDS) | 0.055 | 0.1427 | −0.224, 0.335 | 0.698 | 1.06 | 0.799, 1.39 |
| Women alone (Baseline DDS) | −0.268 | 0.1478 | −0.557, 0.022 | 0.070 | 0.765 | 0.57, 1.02 |
| Time | 1.068 | 0.1474 | 0.779, 1.357 | <0.001 | 2.91 | 2.18, 3.89 |
| Couple group × time | 0.838 | 0.1965 | 0.453, 1.223 | <0.001 | 3.91 | 2.57, 6.88 |
| Women alone × time | 0.622 | 0.2139 | 0.202 | 0.001 | 2.86 | 2.17, 3.88 |
Note: The model was adjusted for maternal age, maternal education, maternal occupation, family size, wealth status, household food security status and baseline DDS. Group × time, intervention and time interaction. Maximum std. error = 0.214.
Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; DDS, dietary diversity score; SE, standard error.
