Implementing a multilevel, multicomponent intervention to engage fathers in complementary feeding in Northern Nigeria: Perceptions of deliverers and recipients.

ABSTRACT: The Alive & Thrive multilevel, multicomponent intervention to engage fathers in complementary feeding in Kaduna State, Nigeria previously showed significant increases in complementary feeding practices for children. This analysis explores the perceptions of intervention deliverers and recipients to inform future spread. The intervention components included counseling cards, home visits, feeding bowls, texts/prerecorded messages, posters, leaflets, sermon guides, talking points, radio and television spots. In-depth interviews (24) were conducted with intervention deliverers (community health extension workers, community and religious leaders) and focus group discussions (16) with recipients (parents of children 6-23 months) from 6 rural and urban wards. Participants were purposively sampled
