However, noticeable gaps exist between rural and urban areas. Since 2012, a government\u2010funded nutrition programme, Ying Yang Bao (YYB; soybean powder\u2010based iron\u2010rich supplement) programme, has been implemented in poor rural areas to decrease the risk of developing anaemia among children aged 6\u201323 months, but there are still inadequate health care awareness, feeding knowledge and skills among caregivers. From June 2018 to December 2020, a child health counselling intervention was delivered through a home visit based on the YYB programme in Liangshan. Child health messages were given by trained village child health assistants while distributing YYB. Surveys were conducted before and after the intervention to analyse changes in child health check\u2010up frequency, complementary feeding practice and prevalence of undernutrition. After the intervention, the proportion of children who had regular health check\u2010ups, who were vaccinated and who met the minimum YYB consumption significantly increased from 26.0%, 81.6%, and 67.8% to 59.7%, 95.0%, and 79.2%. Increased rates of IYCF indicators (introduction of solid, semisolid, or soft foods, minimum dietary diversity and consumption of iron\u2010rich or iron\u2010fortified foods) were observed after the intervention. The prevalence of stunting, underweight, wasting, and anaemia significantly decreased from 26.3% to 10.8%, 13.4% to 8.7%, 14.0% to 10.5%, and 52.1% to 43.9%. This intervention can be well integrated into the YYB programme with less additional resources. Children in resource\u2010limited areas will benefit more from a comprehensive nutritional package, including food supplements and child health education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.13289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,24]],"date-time":"2021-11-24T07:35:18Z","timestamp":1637739318000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effect of a community\u2010based child health counselling intervention on health\u2010seeking behaviours, complementary feeding and nutritional condition among children aged 6\u201323 months in rural China: A pre\u2010 and post\u2010comparison study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7003-6875","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiyi","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department, National Center for Women and Children's Health Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuyue","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department, National Center for Women and Children's Health Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department, National Center for Women and Children's Health Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mei","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Program Management Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Program Management Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lijun","family":"Jian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department Butuo County Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongli","family":"Mei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Program Management Meigu County Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuehua","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department Yuexi County Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiqun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department Zhaojue County Hospital for Women and Children's Health Sichuan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Health Care Department, National Center for Women and Children's Health Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/mcn.12439"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.214"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140\u20106736(13)60937\u2010X"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","volume-title":"National nutrition and health monitoring report 2010\u20132013","author":"Chang J.
