Stunting Clinical Trial
Official title:
Realizing Gender Equality, Attitudinal Change & Transformative Systems in Nutrition (REACTS-IN)
This is an independent evaluation of World VIsion's 7-year quasi-experimental intervention to improve nutrition, nutrition-related rights and gender equality for women, adolescent girls, and children under five years of age in rural Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania. The evaluation will collect baseline, midline, and end-line data from intervention and comparison communities, schools, and health facilities. The evaluation objectives are to test if the intervention improved indicators for (i) child anthropometry, (ii) maternal and child dietary practices, (iii) women's empowerment, and (iv) equitable health service access for nutrition and sexual and reproductive needs. The evaluation analysis will take into account gender differences in the indicators.
This is an independent evaluation of World VIsion's 7-year quasi-experimental intervention ("Realizing Gender Equality, Attitudinal Change and Transformative Systems in Nutrition", REACTS-IN) to improve nutrition, nutrition-related rights and gender equality for women, adolescent girls, and children under five years of age in rural Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania. REACTS-IN is a multi-sectoral approach, integrating nutrition-related determinants, such as water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions and health systems strengthening, to improve access to quality and gender-responsive health systems with increased capacity to prevent and treat malnutrition, especially at the primary health care level. REACTS-IN includes both nutrition-specific (e.g., school-based iron-folic acid supplement program) and nutrition-sensitive (e.g., WASH education) activities delivered through local health systems and/or schools, and communities. This independent evaluation will include three data collection at baseline, midpoint, and end-line to evaluate the performance indicators for the ultimate and intermediate outcomes. This includes indicators for child anthropometry, maternal and child dietary practices, women's empowerment, and equitable health service access for nutrition and sexual and reproductive needs. The evaluation analysis will take into account gender differences in the indicators. The data collection will be carried out with intervention communities as well as with comparison communities. The estimated household sample is 463 households (women, husbands, child)/arm/country per time point, selected through a multi-stage cluster sampling methodology. The household baseline survey with a representative sample of mothers with children (0-5.9 mo; 6-23.9 mo; 24-59.9 mo) will be compared to the values at midpoint (to assess initial impact and the need for program adjustments) and at end-line (to assess the total impact of the project). The surveys will include sociodemographic, economic, and environmental information to assess the indicators for the local context. The evaluation also includes a sample of 500 school-going adolescents (250 boys, 250 girls)/arm/country per time point to assess indicators of knowledge about nutrition, menstrual hygiene management, and sexual and reproductive health. Finally, a sample of approximately 24 health staff and community leaders will provide qualitative data on gender-equitable access to services per arm/country for baseline and end-line. Although the project also is working in Somalia, this independent evaluation does not include data collection in Somalia. ;
