Being concurrently wasted and stunted (WaSt), even at moderate levels, is associated with considerable excess mortality in children comparable to that associated with severe wasting.

This study aims to test whether weight-for-age (WFA) and MUAC can be effectively utilised in existing programmes to capture these children with single and dual deficits and reach considerably more children at a high risk of death. It addresses question two in ENN's 2019 research announcement: "What intensity, duration of treatment, and discharge criteria are appropriate for children identified using the combinations of the indicators/thresholds identified (WFA < -3 or MUAC < 115mm)?"

This 3-day curriculum was developed for experienced Designing for Behavior Change (DBC) practitioners. It emphasizes the important step of designing activities that directly link to the results of formative research.
