Stunting and associated factors among children aged 6-59 months from productive safety net program beneficiary and non-beneficiary households in Meta District, East Hararghe zone, Eastern Ethiopia: a comparative cross-sectional study.

The prevalence of stunting was high among children from households enrolled in PSNP. Stunting was significantly associated with maternal- and child-related factors. Therefore, women empowerment on household's issues and improving infant and young child feeding practices could reduce the prevalence of stunting and its adverse consequences.
