The investigators developed a home-based growth chart that offers a simple and inexpensive way for caregivers to have access to simple health and nutrition information guided by behavioural economics analysis as well as to track their child's linear growth, empowering them to act to improve their child's nutrition. Results from a pilot study conducted in rural Zambia suggest that growth charts installed in homes can increase awareness and reduce early-life growth deficits, particularly among children experiencing growth faltering. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of growth charts through a cluster-randomized trial in Indonesia. The primary outcome is child height-for-age z-score.
