Minimum acceptable diet feeding practice and associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in east Africa: a multilevel binary logistic regression analysis of 2008-2018 demographic health survey data.

Child age, mother's educational level, source of cooking fuel, exposure to media, sex of household head, household wealth status, mother working status, age of the mother, place of delivery and community-level education were the significant determinants of minimum acceptable diet feeding practices. Therefore, designing public health interventions targeting higher-risk children such as those from the poorest household and strengthening mothers' education on acceptable child feed practices are recommended.
