Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement in Maternal, Infant, Young Child and Adolescent Nutrition Service Provision in Five Countries
Greater efforts are needed to better integrate nutrition services focused on the first 1000 days into health systems. Key constraints to large-scale impact include the scale of coverage, intensity and quality of nutrition services. But there is little understanding to date on what quality comprises in the context of maternal, infant, young child and adolescent nutrition (MIYCAN) services. This qualitative assessment presents findings from five co…

The aims of this research were to: (1) describe A&T's SBC implementation processes and their impact based on a review of programme documents and peer-reviewed publications and (2) gather lessons learned from key informant interviews (N = 23) with A&T staff and stakeh…
Attitudes, beliefs and social norms regarding infant and young child feeding among Nigerian mothers, fathers and grandmothers across time
Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) interventions in low-resource countries mainly target pregnant women and mothers of young children; however, fathers and grandmothers also influence IYCF practices. We conducted focus group discussions with mothers, fathers and grandmothers of young children across three time points in areas where an IYCF social and behaviour change intervention was implemented in Nigeria to explore differences by participant…
Maternal and paternal involvement in complementary feeding in Kaduna State, Nigeria: The continuum of gender roles in urban and rural settings
Household gender roles influence infant and young child feeding behaviours and may contribute to suboptimal complementary feeding practices through inequitable household decision-making, intra-household food allocation and limited paternal support for resources and caregiving. In Igabi local government area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, the Alive & Thrive (A&T) initiative implemented an intervention to improve complementary feeding practices through …
Trends and inequalities in the nutritional status of adolescent girls and adult women in sub-Saharan Africa since 2000: A cross-sectional series study

METHODS: We analysed 102 Demographic and Health Surveys between 1993 and 2017 from 35 countries. We assessed regional trends through cross-sectional series analyses and ran multilevel linear regression models to estimate the aver…
