Summary:Interventions to improve maternal nutrition are poorly integrated into antenatal care (ANC) services in India. Alive & Thrive aimed to strengthen delivery of micronutrient supplements and intensify interpersonal counseling and community mobilization implemented through government ANC services. We evaluated the impact of nutrition-intensified ANC (I-ANC) compared to standard ANC (S-ANC) on diet diversity, consumption of iron-folic acid (IFA) and calcium supplements, and early breastfeeding practices.
