Cataloged from the PDF version of the project report. Includes bibliographical references (pages 24-27). Abstract Objective: Childhood malnutrition is a serious public health concern as it hampers a child’s physical and cognitive development. Maternal misperception about their child’s nutritional status can increase the burden of malnutrition. There was very limited literature on maternal perception of their under-five child’s nutritional status in Bangladesh. The purpose of this study was to assess the burden of mother’s varied perception about their under-five child’s nutritional status and associated factors of it in urban slum context. Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Two largest urban slums one from the Dhaka south city corporation (Dholpur) and another from Dhaka north city corporation (Korail). Participants: A total of 437 mothers were included in the final analysis, of whom 215 were from Dholpur and 222 were from Korail slum. Primary outcome: Mothers’ varied perception about their under-five child’s nutritional status was the primary outcome of interest. The varied perception is defined as the discrepancy between the mother's opinion of their child's nutritional state and the measured nutritional status. Results: The prevalence of mother’s varied perception was 45.8%. The prevalence was higher for Dholpur slum compared to Korail slum (Dholpur 52.5% vs Korail 47.5%). 37.1% of mothers underestimated their child’s nutritional status, while 8.7% overestimated it. “Child doesn’t want to eat” (AOR=3.77; 95% CI: 2.35 to 6.05; p<0.001) and “feel light when I carry” (AOR=4.09; 95% CI: 2.01 to 8.34; p<0.001) was the significant reason behind the mother’s perception. Mother’s monthly household income 10000 to less than 15000 BDT (AOR=2.41; 95% CI: 1.17 to 4.99; p<0.05) and 20000 to less than 25000 BDT (AOR=2.51; 95% CI: 1.10 to 5.71; p<0.05) had significantly higher odds of varied perception. Conclusion: The prevalence of varied perception about their child’s nutritional status was high for the urban slums. Health education on appropriate feeding practices for children and MUAC measurement can help mothers to perceive their child’s nutritional status more precisely. Further qualitative research is required to explore maternal perception. Tanmoy Sarker M.
