  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}his study aimed to assess whether short nutrition educational videos were more effective to improve child feeding practices compared to posters in a highly food insecure rural area in {S}outhern {B}enin. {M}aterials and {M}ethods: {A} two-arm cluster-randomized trial was implemented in two districts of the {M}ono region, {B}enin. {O}ver a 6 month period, eight villages received nutrition education sessions using either short videos (n=4 villages) or posters and flyers (n=4 villages). {D}ietary practices were collected among 6-17 months children (n=155) before and at the end of the nutrition education program using a qualitative 24 hours recall. {UNICEF}/{WHO} indicators for dietary diversification and meal frequency assessing were derived for each child. {T}he videos versus poster effect was assessed by the difference-in-differences ({DID}) estimator using generalized estimated equations ({GEE}). {R}esults: {O}verall, respectively 49% and 72% of children had achieved {M}inimum {D}ietary {D}iversity ({MDD}) and {M}inimum {M}eal {F}requency ({MMF}) at baseline. {R}esults from {DID} analysis showed that videos did not have significant advantage in terms of improving children compared to posters neither for dietary diversity ({DID} = -0,036; p-value=0,651) nor for meal frequency ({DID} = -0,048; pvalue=0,574). {H}owever, others factors namely children age, mother age and districts, had significant influence on these feeding practices. {C}onclusions: {T}he nutrition education program using posters and videos performed the same in improving complementary feeding practices. {T}he conditions of the utilisation of videos might be improved and other factors determining children feeding practices taken into account to allow mothers and other participants to benefit from nutrition sessions.},
