Prevalence of psychosocial risk factors and their associations with childhood stunting in rural Tanzania
= 0.07, SE = 0.05, 95% CI [0.02, 0.20]) predicted greater IPV, which, in turn, was associated with elevated maternal mental health problems and ultimately childhood stunting. This study helps to clarify the pathways through which psychosocial risk factors confer heightened risk for childhood undernutrition. Going forward, this knowledge may also help to inform preventative interventions intended to reduce childhood stunting.
