Maternal participation in a nutrition education program in Uganda is associated with improved infant and young child feeding practices and feeding knowledge: a post-program comparison study

Table 3 Comparison of food groups fed to Post-Program and Comparison group children in the previous 24-h based on two days of recall^a

	Post-Program (N = 61)	Comparison (N = 61)	P-value (2-tail)	P-value Adjusted^b
Cereals, roots, tubers, and matoke	98.3%	91.7%	0.090	0.126
Vitamin A-Rich fruits and vegetables	8.2%	5%	0.479	0.747
Other vegetables	95.1%	53.3%	< 0.001^c	<0.001^c
Legumes, pulses, nuts	65.6%	50%	0.083	0.836
Meat, poultry, fish	39.3%	31.7%	0.377	0.010^c
Fats, oils	88.5%	63.3%	0.001^c	0.013^c
Dairy	1.6%	3.2%	0.559	0.079
Eggs	3.3%	0%	0.157	NA^d

^aValue shown are number (percentage). Individuals were considered to consume a food group if a minimum of 1 g was consumed on the first day of recall
^bAdjusted for presence of father in the home, maternal education, primary means of food acquisition, type of material in respondent’s home, and underweight status of the child
^cDifference was significant, p < 0.05 for a two-tailed test of proportions
^dNA Adjust not possible since group member predicts outcome perfectly for egg consumption
