  • Exploring women’s dietary diversity amidst climate variability

    Open AccessBianca Carducci, Rukundo K Benedict et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    It is anticipated that climate change and climate variability will threaten food and nutrition security through multiple pathways, yet evidence on its impact on minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W), especially in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) is limited. Using Bayesian hierarchical statistical modeling, we analyzed the impacts of climate variability on MDD-W, of 142 484 non-pregnant women, aged 15–49 years, in eight LMICs (Burk…

  • Estimates and trends of zero vegetable or fruit consumption among children aged 6–23 months in 64 countries

    Open AccessCourtney Allen, Shireen Assaf et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Children require a diverse diet, that includes vegetables and fruits, to support growth and development and prevent non-communicable diseases. The WHO-UNICEF established a new infant and young child feeding (IYCF) indicator: zero vegetable or fruit (ZVF) consumption among children aged 6–23 months. We estimated the prevalence, trends, and factors associated with ZVF consumption using nationally representative, cross-sectional data on child health…

  • Complementary and alternative metrics for tracking population-level trends in child linear growth

    Open AccessAshley Aimone, Ashley M Aimone et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Stunting prevalence is commonly used to track population-level child nutritional status. However, other metrics derived from anthropometric datasets may be used as alternatives to stunting or provide complementary perspectives on the status of linear growth faltering in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Data from 156 Demographic and Health Surveys in 63 LMICs (years 2000 to 2020) were used to generate 2 types of linear growth metrics: (i)…

  • Comparing hemoglobin distributions between population-based surveys matched by country and time

    Open AccessDaniel J Hruschka, Anne M Williams et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    We identify substantial differences in anemia estimates from surveys of similar populations. Further work is needed to identify the cause of these differences to improve the robustness of anemia estimates for comparing populations and tracking improvements over time

  • Facility‐ and community‐based delivery of micronutrient powders in Uganda

    Open AccessAlexis D’Agostino, Francis Ssebiryo et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Micronutrient powders (MNP) have the potential to increase micronutrient intake, yet documentation of implementation lessons remains a gap. This paper presents results of a pilot in Uganda comparing community- and facility-based delivery of MNP and documenting experiences of caregivers and distributors. The pilot's mixed method evaluation included a cross-sectional endline survey, monthly household visits, and midline and endline interviews. Prim…

  • Experiences and lessons learned for delivery of micronutrient powders interventions

    Open AccessIetje Reerink, Sorrel ML Namaste et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    An effective delivery strategy coupled with relevant social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) have been identified as central to the implementation of micronutrient powders (MNP) interventions, but there has been limited documentation of what works. Under the auspices of "The Micronutrient Powders Consultation: Lessons Learned for Operational Guidance," three working groups were formed to summarize experiences and lessons across countries…
