Does early initiation of homemade yogurt supplementation prevent stunting – a pilot randomized controlled trial dataset

This dataset contains data from a randomised controlled trial that was done on infants aged 6-9 months to test the effectiveness of yoghurt in improving their growth and gut health. Participants were sourced from the slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We enrolled 162 children in the trial, and findings suggest that there was a greater improvement in growth among the children who participated in the yoghurt intervention. The results were not statistically significant. The dataset contains scanned paper questionnaires and the related STATA data files. This dataset contains sensitive information where participants can be identified. Controlled access will be considered by the author Kaniz Jannat - [email protected] ORCID 0000-0002-2993-1955.
