This study examined the role social behavior change communication (SBCC) nutrition-sensitive protection (NSSP) programs Data were from cross-sectional phone survey 6627 Indian mothers that took place in late 2021. The Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) was used to measure quality, including minimum dietary diversity (MDD), scores (DDSs), noncommunicable disease (NCD)-protect NCD-risk scores, adherence guidelines (All-5 India-All-6), unhealthy feeding. Multivariate regression models explore association between indicators coverage SBCC NSSP programs. Maternal quality suboptimal, with more (57%) achieving MDD than children (23%). positively associated healthy food consumption (odds ratio [OR]: 2.14 for MDD; β: 0.60 DDS 0.54 NCD-protect) (β: 0.38 0.43 NCD-protect).

We contribute to evidence prevalence in Bihar state before and after lockdown, whether government’s policy cash transfer moderated negative effects or not. Design This was a longitudinal study.
