Maternal Participation in a Nutrition Education Program in Uganda Is Associated with Improved Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices and Feeding Knowledge: A Post-Program Comparison Study. BMC Nutrition, 3, 32. PMCID: PMC6660008Abstract
Cost-effective approaches to improve feeding practices and to reduce undernutrition are needed in low-income countries. Strategies such as nutritional counseling, food supplements, and cash transfers can substantially reduce undernutrition among food-insecure populations. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) are an increasingly popular strategy for treating and preventing undernutrition and are often delivered with nutrition education. The post-program effects of participation in a LNS-supported supplemental feeding program on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and caregiver child feeding knowledge are not well understood. The objective of this study was to understand whether children’s diet quality and caregiver nutrition knowledge was improved after participation in such a program.URL
