How do women’s empowerment metrics measure up? A comparative analysis
Women’s empowerment is a critical factor for nutrition and health outcomes. • There is no consensus on how empowerment should be measured. • With data from a single sample of Kenyan women, we compare five empowerment metrics. • We find striking differences between these common empowerment metrics. • Metric choice dramatically influences which women are identified as empowered. Research has identified women’s empowerment as a critical factor for n…
Adapting the Women’s empowerment in nutrition index: Lessons from Kenya
Women face a disproportionate burden of malnutrition and food insecurity. Research has shown that women's empowerment can buffer women against nutritional problems.

Earlier research has shown it is both a valid construct and positively related to d…
Assessing Mbiotisho: A smartphone application used to collect high‐frequency health and nutrition data from difficult‐to‐reach populations

We developed and tested a smartphone application that caregivers from a pastoral population used to measure, record and submit high-frequency and longitudinal health and nutrition information on themselves and their children. The data were assessed by comparing caregiver-submitted measurements of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) to several benchmark data sets, including …
