Summary

Improved infant and young child feeding, including dietary quality and diversity, is important for child health and development. In the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, only 18% of children 6-23 months of age received at least 4 food groups in the previous 24 hours. In Kaduna, one of the poorest states, dietary diversity is low and consumption of eggs is infrequent, with households reporting consuming eggs only one day per week. Eggs are a nutrient-dense food, which can contribute enormously to a child's dietary quality. This study evaluates whether a 14-month behavior change intervention about eggs can increase the procurement and consumption of eggs in children 6-59 months of age living in Nigeria. The intervention includes delivery of messages about the health benefits of eggs through Above-the-line methods and Below-the-line methods. The intervention is evaluated using a longitudinal quasi-experimental design in two states in Nigeria with pre- and post-test questionnaires designed to assess changes in acquisition and consumption of eggs.
