This study assessed the determinants of IYCF practices among children aged 6\u201323 months with SAM and under SAM treatment in a pastoralist and a predominantly agrarian setting in Ethiopia. As part of the baseline survey for the R\u2010SWITCH cluster randomized control trial, we screened ~28,000 under\u2010fives and included 486 children aged 6\u201323 months with SAM and under SAM treatment. Multivariable regression analysis was used to identify determinants on household, caregiver and child levels. Minimum meal frequency (MMF) was similar between children from the agrarian (53.9%) and pastoralist (51.9%) setting. The prevalence of children with minimum dietary diversity (MDD) was low overall but higher among pastoralist children (31.5%) than children from the agrarian setting (19.0%;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.012).
