Using formative research to design a context‐specific behaviour change strategy to improve infant and young child feeding practices and nutrition in N epal
Global recommendations on strategies to improve infant feeding, care and nutrition are clear; however, there is limited literature that explains methods for tailoring these recommendations to the local context where programmes are implemented. This paper aims to: (1) highlight the individual, cultural and environmental factors revealed by formative research to affect infant and young child feeding and care practices in Baitadi district of Far Wes…

Malnutrition, household income and food security in rural Malawi
Despite the very impressive gains made in national crop production in the agricultural sector, Malawi continues to face a significant development challenge to reduce the high levels of child malnutrition and mortality which prevail across the country. The problem of household food and economic insecurity, or in other words the inability of families to produce or purchase enough food to meet basic biological needs, is considered to be a major dete…
Using agricultural data for timely warning to prevent the effects of drought on child nutrition in Botswana
Data from agricultural reporting systems in Botswana for the period 1978–83 are combined with data from the Ministry of Health's clinic‐based nutritional surveillance system in a retrospective analysis to investigate the usefulness of agricultural indicators for timely warning of unusually severe child malnutrition due to drought. In the arable farming areas in eastern Botswana, deficits in an index of ground water sufficiency for maize growth du…
Child malnutrition in rural Kenya
This article uses data from the 1978–79 Rural Child Nutrition Survey in Kenya, linked to agricultural data on 2,583 households from the Integrated Rural Surveys, to estimate the extent of chronic malnutrition among children in sub‐populations classified by province, occupation, landholding and cropping pattern. Child malnutrition is the worst in Coast and Nyanza Provinces, especially in the families of smallholders. There is some evidence that ho…
The distribution of haemoglobin concentration in a sample of native high-altitude women
Two hundred and twenty-two indigenous women living in La Paz, Bolivia at an altitude of 3700 m were screened for the haematological parameters of haemoglobin, transferrin saturation, haematocrit and total iron-binding capacity. The data from 152 nonpregnant healthy women under 45 years of age were utilized in both distributional and maximum likelihood analyses in order to evaluate the prevalence of abnormal haemoglobin levels. The prevalence of a…
