Association of Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Animal Ownership With Relapse to Acute Malnutrition Among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Mali, South Sudan and Somalia
Children successfully treated through community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) frequently relapse to acute malnutrition (AM) following recovery and discharge. This prospective cohort study examined associations between relapse and household water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions, as well as animal ownership, in Mali, South Sudan and Somalia. Between April 2021 and June 2022, 1115 children were enrolled, with 964 children f…
Using the household hunger scale to improve analysis and classification of severe food insecurity in famine-risk conditions
Sustained nutrition impact of a multisectoral intervention program two years after completion
Progress on the nutrition Sustainable Development Goals has been slow. More attention is needed on the 'sustainable' part, focused on impact lasting beyond programme implementation. To determine sustained impact of a multisectoral nutrition intervention that provided water, sanitation, hygiene, livelihood, health and nutrition support (2013-2015) in eastern Chad, we utilize longitudinal household data collected 2 years (2017) after the interventi…
Sensitivity of Nutrition Indicators to Measure the Impact of a Multi-Sectoral Intervention
Interventions tackling multiple drivers of child malnutrition have potential, yet the evidence is limited and draws on different analysis and nutrition outcomes, reducing comparability. To better understand the advantages and disadvantages of three different analytical approaches on seven common nutrition indicators, we use panel data (2012, 2014, 2015) on 1420 households from a randomized control study of a multi-sectoral intervention in Chad. W…
