Ownership of a radio or television was associated with a 5.64-fold higher likelihood of optimal dietary practice among pregnant women. One Ethiopian study found that health professionals were the primary source of nutrition information during pregnancy, suggesting media platforms remain underutilised relative to their potential reach. The confidence interval for radio/TV ownership was wide, reflecting high heterogeneity (I²=81%) and only two contributing studies, reducing certainty. Media access facilitates exposure to nutrition education and health messaging.
