Intervention(s)
24 clusters (village administrative units) were randomly allocated equally to intervention or control prior to initiation of enrollment. A restricted randomization approach, balancing the population of clusters and proportion of lower castes, was adopted to ensure balanced allocation. The two allocation sequences generated through the restricted randomization scheme were allocated to intervention and control by a community member through the toss of a coin. Due to the nature of the intervention (home visitations by special workers called 'life coaches', etc), it was not possible to mask the intervention clusters. However, the entire evaluation was conducted by a separate set of workers, following the same process in both intervention and control clusters. The intervention package included counselling and handholding support for pregnant women and their families on nutrition (during pregnancy, lactation and complementary feeding), hygiene, early child stimulation including massage and play, early initiation of skin-to-skin contact for all babies, and care-seeking. The intervention was designed around 6 domains (Nutrition, Hygiene & Infection Prevention, Infant Massage, Loving and Responsive Care Practices, Active Stimulation & Interaction and Care Seeking).
