Maternal Mental Health and Child Dietary Diversity in Rural Kenya: Findings From a Pooled Analysis of 2 Baseline Studies
These findings underscore the importance of integrating psychosocial components within child nutrition programs to address not only maternal mental health but also support the broader caregiving environment for families in low-and-middle-income settings like Kenya. Strengthening caregivers' social support networks as part of these interventions may also have potential for promoting maternal mental health and children's nutritional well-being.
