  • Assessing implementation outcomes for launching balanced energy protein supplementation

    Open AccessAnna Kalbarczyk, Mary de Boer et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation is an efficacious intervention in pregnancy for improving birthweight and is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) in countries with high maternal undernutrition. Few countries have implemented BEP programmes due in part to high cost, lack of data on acceptability and feasibility, and complexity of delivery. We sought to address implementation gaps in BEP interventions through a formative stu…

MDD was defined as consumption of more than or equals to five of eight food groups including breast milk in the past 24 h. Equity gaps were calculated as the difference in MDD prevalence between the top and bottom …

  • Acceptability of a balanced energy protein (BEP) supplement for pregnant women in Bangladesh

    Open AccessEleonor Zavala, Atiya Rahman et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation in pregnancy is recommended in the context of undernutrition for the reduction of small-for-gestational age neonates and stillbirths. To inform an effectiveness trial, we evaluated the acceptability of a packaged, ready-to-eat fortified BEP product among women of reproductive age and their health care providers (HCPs) in rural Bangladesh and explored the feasibility of adhering to daily supplementatio…

  • Evaluating preschool linear growth velocities

    Open AccessSwetha Manohar, Elizabeth Colantuoni et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: An annualised linear growth velocity (LGV) reference can identify groups of children at risk of growing poorly. As a single velocity reference for all preschool ages does not exist, we present an interim tool, derived from published, normative growth studies, for detecting growth faltering, illustrating its use in Nepali preschoolers. Design: The WHO Child Growth Velocity Standard was adapted to derive 12-month increments and conjoined…

  • Diets of infants and young children in two counties of Kenya

    Open AccessJudith Kimiywe, Hope C Craig et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are influenced by many context-specific factors related to local food systems as well as social and cultural practices. Understanding these local contextual perspectives is essential for designing effective programs and policies. This paper uses focused ethnographic study methods to examine challenges experienced by mothers related to IYCF in two counties in Kenya, a country with considerable hetero…

  • Dietary Diversity and Dietary Patterns in School-Aged Children in Western Kenya

    Open AccessTiange Liu, Sherryl Broverman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Inadequate diet among children has both immediate and long-term negative health impacts, but little is known about dietary diversity and dietary patterns of school-aged children in rural Kenya. We assessed dietary diversity and identified dietary patterns in school-aged children in Western Kenya using a latent class approach.
