Effectiveness of Home Visiting Interventions on Feeding Practices in Ethiopian Woreda Towns: Short-term Behavioural Change and Outcome Monitoring

This case study examines the effectiveness of home visiting interventions aimed at improving feeding practices among children in Ethiopian woreda towns. Intervention groups received regular home visits with tailored nutrition advice for mothers, while control groups did not. Data collection included pre- and post-intervention surveys assessing feeding practices and knowledge of nutrition among caregivers. A statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in the proportion of children receiving adequate breast milk was observed between home visiting intervention and control groups. Home visiting interventions effectively enhanced nutritional knowledge and practices, leading to better feeding outcomes for young children. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to evaluate long-term impact and sustainability of these interventions in diverse settings.
