Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Assessing program efficacy of under five food supplementation (PMT Biscuits) is needed after the first 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding, children were introduced to liquid and semi-solid food. In this phase of food introduction, children ability to accept food supplementation program was still questionable and the efficacy needs to be assessed.

Another aspect that needed to be evaluated is assessing the efficacy of food supplementation to improve the nutritional status of wasting children in multiple cities to describe Indonesian geographical and socio-economic diversity (multi center studies). PMT biscuits supplementation intervention is accompanied by educational modules on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) in order to improve caregiver's knowledge and skills in providing economically affordable and nutritious food for their children. PMT biscuits supplementation evaluation will be assessed at 9 months observations (3 months intervals). The observation will be conducted every month up until the first 3 months then the observation will be continued in 6th and 9th months of observation.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The intervention is running parallel in three arms.

1. The first arm as a control group obtaining only routine IYCF counseling by the cadre and without the provision of biscuits. If there are respondents at the first three months data collection who experience a decrease in nutritional status, then the respondent will be given biscuits immediately
2. The second arm as the first intervention group to get biscuit with portion as recommended by Ministry of Health and also given the IYCF counseling by the cadres and nutritionist
3. The third arm as the second intervention group receiving biscuit with adjustment in portion and IYCF Counseling that emphasize the optimization of local food In the 2nd and 3rd arm, treatment was administered for 3 months according to the recommended duration of biscuit delivery by the Ministry of Health, but all respondents from three arms will continue to be followed in third, sixth, and ninth months from the beginning of treatment.

Control group

The first arm as a control group obtaining only routine IYCF consultation by the posyandu (integrated health service post) cadres and without the provision of biscuits.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

National portion & IYCF counseling

The second arm as the national portion \& IYCF counseling group to get biscuit with standardized portion as recommended by Ministry of Health and also given the IYCF counseling by the cadres and nutritionist.In the second and third arm, treatment was administered for 3 months according to the recommended duration of biscuit delivery by the Ministry of Health, but all respondents from three arms will continue to be followed in third, sixth, and ninth months from the beginning of treatment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

National portion & IYCF counseling

Intervention Type OTHER

Eight or twelve pieces of Biscuits supplementation per day as serving size recommendation based on the requirement from Ministry of Health, accompanied by IYCF Counseling emphasizing on local food optimization. The difference in serving size recommendation will be evaluated to see the efficacy of Biscuits supplementation on wasting children age 6-23 months of age

Adjusted portion & local food counseling

the third arm as the adjusted portion \& local food counseling group receiving biscuit with adjustment in portion and IYCF Counseling that emphasize the optimization of local food. In the second and third arm, treatment was administered for 3 months according to the recommended duration of biscuit delivery by the Ministry of Health, but all respondents from three arms will continue to be followed in third, sixth, and ninth months from the beginning of treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adjusted portion & local food counseling

Intervention Type OTHER

four pieces of Biscuits supplementation per day as serving size recommendation, accompanied by IYCF Counseling. The difference in serving size recommendation will be evaluated to see the efficacy of Biscuits supplementation on wasting children age 6-23 months of age
