Descripción
The AAMA project uses the homestead food production (HFP) model that focuses on increasing households year round access to nutritious food as a platform to deliver a proven essential nutrition actions (ENA) related messages to household with children less than 2 years old. The AAMA project seeks to examine the effects of household level HFP on malnutrition. So the recipient and other partners wishes to undertake a study to explore a plausible delivery mechanism for MNPs along with HFP and intensive community level IYCF-BCC and their impact on infant/child growth and anemia.
The study is a cluster randomized controlled trial with a three arm factorial design. The trial involve 330 randomly selected children aged 6-9 months at the time of enrollment (n=110 per each of the three study arms). MNPs distributed through FCHVs to 110 children selected from communities that already have the HFP and IYCF-BCC intervention. This group of children will be compared on outcome parameters for anemia, growth (stunting, underweight and wasting) and infections (diarrhea, fever and cough) to a similar sub-set of children (n=110) who receive only the HFP and IYCF-BCC intervention and to a third sub-set of control children of similar age (n=110) who are not receiving either of these interventions. Children aged 6-9 months were chosen for the study because this age range captures the recommended age for introduction of complementary foods to children and our chosen age group also falls within the 0-24 month age range which is considered the period of rapid growth and development and therefore period of highest nutrient requirements in children.
