Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of the food bar made from api-api mangrove (Avicennia marina) and sword bean (Canavalia ensiformis) blends on the weight and Weight-for-Age Z score affected by a landslide disaster.
The main questions aimed to answer are:
-
Food bar supplementation can effect the weight and WAZ score of under-five children affected by landslides disaster?
-
Balanced nutrition education can increase the mothers' knowledge on the balanced nutrition of under-five children?
Participants divided in to two group i.e.:
-
Treatment/intervention group consumed 50 g mangrove sword bean food bar each day during 15 days.
-
Control group consumed 50 g sword bean food bar each day during 15 days.
-

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Effect of mangrove-sword bean-food bar on the weight and Weight-for-Age Z score (WAZ) of under-five children affected by landslide disaster [Two weeks]
Change of weight measured by digital weighing. Change of Weight for Age Z score measured by using Nutri Survey Software. Mean difference of weight and Weight-for-Age Z score were calculated as the value at two weeks minus the value at baseline.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change of mothers' balanced nutrition knowledge [Two weeks]
Knowledge score of mothers of underfive children on the balanced nutrition at pre-post study measured by baseline and end-line questionnaires. Mean difference of balanced nutrition knowledge of mothers was calculated as the value at two weeks minus the value at baseline.
