A Global Scoping Review on Alternative Ready‐to‐Use Therapeutic Foods
Alternative ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) formulations provide an opportunity to lower costs, facilitate local or national ingredient use, and enhance the availability and acceptability of RUTF. This scoping review aimed to identify and categorise the available evidence on alternative RUTF formulations developed and tested globally, assess their compliance with international standards and summarise evidence on acceptability, cost, effecti…
Cost-effectiveness of decentralising acute malnutrition treatment with a standard or simplified treatment protocol
The study protocol was registered under reference ISRCTN-60,973,756 on the 15th of October 2020
Treatment of moderate acute malnutrition through community health volunteers is a cost‐effective intervention
Treatment outcomes for acute malnutrition can be improved by integrating treatment into community case management (iCCM). However, little is known about the cost-effectiveness of this integrated nutrition intervention. The present study investigates the cost-effectiveness of treating moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) through community health volunteer (CHV) and integrating it with routine iCCM. A cost-effectiveness model compared the costs and ef…
Early development in children with moderate acute malnutrition
Malnutrition impairs cognitive, communication, and motor development, but it is not known how nutrition and health are associated with development in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). We aimed to describe motor and language development of children with MAM and explore its nutrition and health-related correlates. This cross-sectional study used baseline data from a nutritional trial in children with MAM aged 6-23 months in Burkina F…
Acceptability of new formulations of corn-soy blends and lipid-based nutrient supplements in Province du Passoré, Burkina Faso
Crisis Behind Closed Doors
The high and volatile food prices in 2007-8 triggered estimates of massive increases in poverty and hunger. However, hunger and volatile food prices have long been a feature of developing economies. This paper examines the impact of high global food prices on domestic terms-of-trade, food consumption and child undernutrition in the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Liberia and Sierra Leone, comparing findings with the impacts of 'seasonality'. …
