Filter by:Using a community-based, cluster randomized controlled trial design (cRCT) the investigators will examine the impact of an integrated "m-health package -(M- SAKHI) for mothers on appropriate infant feeding practices, starting in the first / second trimester of pregnancy to 24 months after delivery, to improve child feeding practices and child growth, and reduce the prevalence of undernutrition in their children. This will result in two treatment groups. The clusters for the trial will be villages under the administrative area of ASHAs (Accreditated Social Health Activists). Villages with a population of 1000- 2000 (ranging from 751 to 2000) with 1 ASHA will be randomized to receive intervention (intervention villages) or continue existing delivery of care (control villages). The data will be collected using a longitudinal design because the investigators want to study the impact of intervention on the mothers starting at pregnancy until her infant is 24 month old.
This study will assess compliance with dietary recommendations, in conjunction with a nutritional supplement to meet the nutritional requirements in children and the effects of the compliance on promoting growth in children who are at risk of under-nutrition.
A cluster-randomised trial will be undertaken in Burkina Faso to investigate whether a comprehensive mass media campaign using local radio stations can change behaviours on a scale large enough to result in measurable and sustainable reductions in under-five child mortality. It is hypothesised that as a result of the scale and multi-pronged nature of the campaign, reductions of between 10% and 20% in child mortality will be achieved.
The purpose of this study is to test two different interventions of nutrition follow up after discharge from geriatric ward in undernourished geriatric patients. The patients are randomized to a home visit arm, a telephone consultation arm, or a control arm. Patients in the home visit arm and their home care helper will get visits from a clinical dietician at one week, two weeks and four weeks after discharge, in order to follow up on the nutrition intervention. Patients in the telephone consultation arm and their home care helper will be contacted by a clinical dietician at one week, two weeks and four weeks after discharge, in order to follow up on the nutrition intervention. The control arm will not be contacted. The primarily outcome is functional ability. Secondary outcomes are quality of life, readmission and mortality.
