Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Users can create and share custom visualizations to interpret data related to stunting and wasting, exclusive breastfeeding, micronutrient supplementation, and other health topics.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Speakers discuss developing youth agribusiness hubs, adapting to climate change through better rangeland management and improved livestock feed, promoting nutrition in agribusiness, and how healthy diets can contribute to healthy economies through agriculture, among other topics. This is a podcast.
USAID Nutrition Resource Hub
In an effort to measure the effectiveness of lipid-based nutrients for improving birth outcomes and child development and growth, the Rang-Din Nutrition Study was undertaken in rural Bangladesh from 2011 to 2015.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Counseling for parents focuses on optimal nutrition for families through breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding practices. Training sessions cover proper breastfeeding posture, frequency of breastfeeding, and good maternal diet to support infant health.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
The Adolescent Nutrition Resource Bank provides hundreds of policies, program examples, guidance, and tools to help stakeholders design, improve, and expand programs and services. Research to determine how to design effective programs and materials should disaggregate by residence, education, wealth, agency, access to food, culture, and physiological status.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
The report discusses country-specific stunting, wasting, anemia, and breastfeeding gains in the face of COVID-19 shocks and the climate crisis.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and conflict have increased the number of acutely food insecure people to historic highs; the war in Ukraine will add to this number, which is projected to reach 323 million people in 2022. USAID, technical experts, and philanthropists pursuing public-private investment discuss steps to combat the worsening crisis. This is a webinar.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Researchers evaluating the effects of doses, durations, and frequencies of zinc supplementation found no differences in the incidence or prevalence of diarrhea across five intervention groups in Bangladesh. The decline in children’s linear growth was somewhat smaller in one intervention group compared with the placebo group.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Researchers found nutrient intake distributions were rarely symmetric, while variability and skewness differed significantly based on nutrient and population subgroup. The shape of nutrient intake distributions strongly influenced estimates of nutrient intake inadequacy.
Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Resource Review
Researchers commonly use serum or plasma zinc and proxy indicators to assess zinc status, but each has limitations. Longitudinal zinc supplementation affected exchangeable zinc pool (EZP) size and reflected the expected difference in bioavailability for two forms of supplementation. Researchers did not find an effect of inflammation on EZP size, which may support its use as a biomarker for comparisons between different interventions.
