Structural equation model (SEM) with standardized path coefficients (thicker lines) for the effect of Community Health Worker (CHW) contact on Maternal Knowledge and Childhood Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Model is adjusted for household socio-economic status (SES), child’s age less than 24 months, gender, exclusive breastfeeding status, and mother’s anemia status. Significant paths not shown: SES→Childhood IDA (β = 0.076, SE = 0.034, p = 0.023); Child Age (<24 months) →Childhood IDA (β = 0.186, SE = 0.032, p < .0001); Mother’s IDA→Childhood IDA (β = 0.087, SE = 0.032, p = 0.007); Child Age (<24 months) →Maternal Knowledge (β = -0.125, SE = 0.041, p = 0.002). Model fit: Number of free parameters = 62; ΔX 2 = 2.857, Δdf = 3, p = 0.4142. RMSEA = 0.024, CI: 0.011, 0.035, p = 1.000; CFI = 0.972; TLI = 0.959; WRMR = 0.878; *p < .05; **p ≥ .001; ***p < .001
