A quasi-experimental study assessing the effectiveness of a community-based egg intervention in the nutritional and health status of young children from rural Honduras
Children in the intervention group reported consuming eggs more days per week relative to the control group. Lower odds of respiratory infections were observed in the intervention group throughout the study. Ongoing follow-up will offer more insights on the intervention's effectiveness in linear growth, dietary diversity, food security, and other nutritional outcomes.
