The emphasis is on the methods employed in these studies which can also be used elsewhere to obtain information vital to the evaluation and planni…
Environmental risk factors in outpatient recovery from malnutrition
Studies evaluating Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres indicate that they hold several advantages over alternative methods of care for malnourished children. Nonetheless, an important minority of outpatient cases attending such centres does not make adequate progress, and this has been attributed to shortcomings in their home environment. A survey in Uganda showed that different features of the home environment affected progress for urban and rural …

Data collected in this way at a Nutrition Rehabilitation Unit in Uganda attempts to relate the recovery of outpatients to social factors in their home environment. Because of the complexity of these influences and the limitations of the data this attempt is only partially successful. The future collection…
