Description of intervention(s) / exposure
NEO-MOM project is a randomized controlled trial research with 3 months behavior intervention towards households with stunted children and overweight/obese mother (SCOWT). The intervention in NEO-MOM project will consist of combination of 6 sessions Nutrition Education and 6 sessions of motivational interviewing through home visit. The sessions will be conducted in biweekly basis or every two weeks or twice a months. The 6 nutrition intervention sessions will be administered alternatively with home visit (motivational interviewing session) throughout the intervention period. In total, the intervention will span 3 months. The approximate duration of each nutrition education session is 100 minutes consist of 50 minutes class session followed by 50 minutes hands-on experience. The motivational interviewing session approximately lasted for 1 hour. The nutrition education class will be administered by 3 co-researchers in Indonesia. They are faculty members of Department of Nutrition, Universitas Airlangga with expertise in nutrition and behavioral change intervention. All of them hold master degree in public health or community nutrition. The hands-on experience session will be delivered by 2 trained research assistants that holds bachelor degree in public health nutrition. The motivational interviewing session (through home visit) will be delivered by trained community health worker that live in participants living area. The sessions are administered to mothers only. The general content of the 6 sessions’ nutrition educations are: session 1) 50 minutes nutrition education class on the introduction on the double burden of malnutrition, especially consequences and management of overweight/obesity and child stunting. The session followed by 20 minutes dance session and 30 minutes hands-on experience on making goal setting to improve physical activity (as in daily steps), fruit and vegetable intake for mother and serving animal protein for their children; 2) 50 minutes nutrition education class on healthy grocery shopping followed by 20 minutes dance session and 30 minutes mocked grocery shopping. 3) 50 minutes nutrition education class on Indonesian balance diet and Indonesian version of MyPlate followed by 20 minutes dance session and 30 minutes menu making for under five year old children with emphasize of including animal protein (chicken liver, catfish or egg). 4) 30 minutes nutrition education class on healthy cooking method followed by 20 minutes dance session and 60 minutes cooking demonstration; 5) 50 minutes nutrition education class on Child feeding practice with emphasize of responsive feeding followed by 20 minutes dance session and 30 minutes role play and jingle/song making related to combating child stunting. 6) 50 minutes FGD on how to overcome barriers towards child feeding practice followed by 20 minutes dance session and 30 minutes creation of pledge and strategies to tackle stunted child and overweight/obese mother (SCOWT) from mothers own perspective. The motivational interviewing delivered through home visit (6 times throughout the study administered in alternate week from nutrition education class and hands-on activity session) will focus on providing verbal motivation for mothers to achieve their biweekly goal setting (consist of: improving daily steps, fruit and vegetables intake, and serving child with animal protein), and help them with strategies to overcome barriers. To monitor adherence to the intervention we will make a log of nutrition education sessions including attendance list filled by our research assistants, form of biweekly goal settings filled by mothers at the end of class and hands-on activity sessions. Through collaboration with local grocery store, we will monitor maternal grocery purchase from the recorded grocery voucher that we gave to the mothers each time they attend our class and hands-on session. In addition, to monitor adherence towards physical activity improvement we will monitor maternal daily steps using pedometer during home visit and record it into the log for each participants.

Statistical methods / analysis
To analyze the difference in the outcome from control and intervention group, the test of ANOVA was used. This statistical analysis was adjusted for possible confounding such as maternal characteristics, SES and household characteristics. All data analysis performed in IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The power calculation of our main outcome variables is based on the previous RCT in Bangladesh with similar 3 months length and twice a month intensive nutrition education intervention along with complementary feeding on child’s height gain (Roy et al. 2005). Even though our study did not directly provide complementary feeding, it is one of our inclusion criteria that participant in our study must receive complementary feeding program from the government of Indonesia. The effect size of provision of complementary food and intensive nutrition education on height gain (cm) in Bangladesh was 0.80 (95%CI=0.007-1.53). We select this fairly large effect size of 0.8 expressed as mean difference in child’s height, which translates to an ability to detect a difference between two groups of 0.80 cm child’s height at 3 months follow-up. Our study has a 90% power to detect changes that may be modest at the individual level, but would have an important impact if occurring at the population level. Minimum total sample size of 66 is needed to detect these differences in our primary hypothesis, with two tailed alpha of 0.05. Assuming dropout rate of 3%, the total sample size of 68 will be required (34 in intervention group and 34 in control group/usual care).

Summary
Brief summary
Double burden of malnutrition is a phenomenon where in one household we have problem of under and over nutrition. The magnitude of double burden of malnutrition is highest in the third quintile group of socioeconomic status (SES). Evidence suggests that modifiable behavioral factors like food distribution and dietary diversity is associated with reducing double burden of malnutrition, given the household is food secure. This study aims to decrease the prevalence of double burden of malnutrition through targeting these modifiable behaviors. NEO-MOM project is a randomized controlled trial with 3 months length behavior intervention towards households with overweight/obese mother and stunted children. NEO-MOM project consists of 6 sessions of nutrition education and behavioral strategies to assist maternal adoption of healthy eating and child feeding practices. In addition, community health workers will be trained to perform 6 sessions motivational interviewing in a biweekly home visit for 3 months. During the sessions of nutrition education, we will provide hands-on activities for mothers to improve their self-efficacy towards dietary diversity and child feeding. The targets are to increase maternal consumption of fruit and vegetables as well as to increase child's consumption of animal protein. The effectiveness of the intervention will be measured by the reduction of maternal overweight/obesity and childhood stunting
