Improving household nutrition security and public health in the Caricom, 2018–2022
The Caribbean is experiencing a worsening epidemic of obesity and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and it has the worst rates of premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases in the region of the Americas. Creating enabling environments to improve dietary diversity would help reduce obesity and diet-related NCDs. The Improving Household Nutrition Security and Public Health in the CARICOM project aimed to increase dietary diversity in the Caribb…
Covid-19 and the social distribution of hunger in three Caribbean Small Island Developing States

Child survival
This paper examines recent studies which focus on the effectiveness of primary health care activities and concludes that in Bangladesh the potential for substantially improving child survival and growth is severely curtailed by unbalanced strategies. More specifically the paper argues: (1) that focusing interventions on at-risk children at about 6 months of age is more efficient and less costly in preventing malnutrition than monthly monitoring o…
Targeting nutritional interventions
To test whether regular monitoring of weight is an efficient way to detect the development of malnutrition, two cohorts of children in Bangladesh and the Caribbean were followed prospectively for 18 months. Results showed that, after 1 year of age, body weight was more closely correlated with weight at 6 months of age than with weight changes in the previous three months. Moreover, weight at 6 months was significantly more closely correlated with…
