Data collected as part of a four-arm cluster randomised controlled trial to test the effects of three nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions on maternal and child nutrition in rural Odisha, India. The clusters (village and its surrounding hamlets) were allocated 1:1:1:1 to a control group or an intervention group of fortnightly women's group meetings and household visits over 32 months using: NSA videos (AGRI group); NSA and nutrition-specific videos (AGRI-NUT group); or NSA videos and a nutrition-specific participatory learning and action (PLA) cycle meetings and videos (AGRI-NUT+PLA group). Primary outcomes were the proportion of children aged 6–23 months consuming at least four of seven food groups the previous day and mean maternal body-mass index (BMI). Secondary outcomes were proportion of mothers consuming at least five of ten food groups and child wasting. All outcomes were assessed using cross-sectional surveys at baseline and endline, 36 months later. The trial's impact evaluation is available at: 10.1016/S2542-5196(21)00001-2.

| Description of data capture | We did a parallel group, observer-blind, four-arm cluster RCT in Keonjhar district, Odisha, India. A cluster was a village and its surrounding hamlets. The interventions were delivered at the cluster level and all women in intervention clusters were eligible to participate. We evaluated effects on trial participants: one child aged 0–23 months per household, their mothers or female primary caregivers when the mother was absent (hereafter mothers) aged 15–49 years, and the mother's spouse (or household head, if unavailable). We aimed to sample 32 households per cluster, giving an intended sample size of 4736 mother–child dyads. The sample size was calculated to detect differences in the two primary outcomes of the trial. Primary outcomes were the proportion of children aged 6–23 months consuming at least four of seven food groups the previous day and mean maternal body-mass index (BMI). Secondary outcomes were proportion of mothers consuming at least five of ten food groups and child wasting. Other additional outcomes were mothers' and children's haemoglobin concentrations and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and exploratory outcomes along the causal pathways including indicators of women's empowerment and agricultural production. All outcomes were assessed through cross-sectional surveys at baseline (Nov 24, 2016, to Jan 24, 2017) and endline (Nov 19, 2019, to Jan 12, 2020), 36 months later (at the end of the 32-month intervention). To reduce respondent burden, we randomly allocated half of the spouses to answer questions on empowerment, and the other half answered questions on household consumption. Data collectors sought informed consent from adult participants in writing or by thumbprint and, for children, from their primary caregivers. |
