Effectiveness of a positive deviance approach to improve appropriate feeding and nutritional status in South West Region, Ethiopia: A study protocol for a cluster randomized control trial. Gizaw, A. T., Sopory, P., & Sudhakar, M. N. PLoS ONE, 19(1):1–17, 2024.
Paper abstract bibtex Background: Non-optimal infant and young child feeding practices (IYCFP) are linked to malnutrition and infant mortality in poor countries, notably in Ethiopia. The majority of growth stalls occur within the first two years of life; hence, there is a need to discover interventions that enhance appropriate IYCFP for improving nutritional outcomes during this critical period. Using the experience of mothers who have come up with solutions to their IYCFP problems to educate others, is a potential pathway to initiate and sustain behavioral changes in resource-limited areas. However, such interventions are not widely implemented in Ethiopia. Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a positive deviance approach (PDA) to improve appropriate feeding and nutritional status in South West region, Ethiopia. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare the effect of positive deviant intervention versus routine health education. The intervention will
