Brief Summary:
Child undernutrition is a worldwide public health problem that has persisted in African countries For instance the most recently reported prevalence rates of stunting 38 underweight 24 and wasting 10 among children under the age of five in Ethiopia is higher than the global prevalence The causes of undernutrition are classified in the following manner immediate causes such as inadequate dietary intakes underlying causes such as household food insecurity and inadequate care and feeding practices and basic causes which involve the households inadequate access to education employment and income among others Evidence has demonstrated that nutrition education interventions NEI may influence both underlying and immediate causes of child undernutrition For instance nutrition education interventions have the potential of preventing the underlying causes of child undernutrition by improving mothers knowledge in care and feeding practices and further improving the quality and quantity of dietary intake which is considered an immediate cause of child undernutrition Moreover nutrition education interventions designed to improve infant and young child feeding IYCF practices such as dietary diversity frequency and adequacy are considered a high impact strategy that may substantially reduce stunting Preliminary data from Hawassa University collaborating institution in this project demonstrated that approximately 86 of the children residing in Arsi Negele Wondo Genet and Dale districts in Oromia and Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples SNNP regions in Ethiopia do not receive adequate complementary feeding practices Such lack of optimal complementary feeding practices may compromise a childs growth development and survival Therefore there is a critical need for improving child complementary feeding practices to promote their well-being and adequate nutritional status Thus the main purpose of this study is to improve child feeding practices and related nutritional status by improving the mothers knowledge attitudes and practices KAP of complementary feeding practices for their children aged six to 23 months in three woredas located in Oromia and SNNP It is hypothesized that after the NEI mothers will improve their children dietary diversity frequency and adequacy
Detailed Description:
Elegibility criteria residents that have lived in Arsi Negele Wondo Genet and Dale districts for at least one year households that have children between 6 and 23 months of age households where the mother is permanently presents and households that speak sidamo or oromio
Exclusion criteria residents that have lived in Arsi Negele Wondo Genet and Dale districts for less than one year households that have children under 6 months or above 23 months of age households where the mother is not present and households that do not speak sidamo
Outcomes of this study are child feeding practices knowledge attitudes dietary diversity score meal frequency score adequacy diet score continuing breastfeeding maternal dietary diversity and prevalence of stunting wasting and underweight
