Non Randomized Controlled Intervention Study Comparing Two Interventions of Nutritional Supplement on Malnutrition, Health and Mortality
NCT ID: NCT02085044 Phase: PHASE4 Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 5700 Completion: 2013-12
Conditions
Malnutrition
Interventions
Ready-to-Used Supplement Food administration
Summary
The hypothesis for the study is that 12 months of a Ready-To-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) distributions have a greater impact on children's health than the standard RUSF distributions during the hunger gap period (june to september). We estimated that the 12 month RUSF will decrease the incidence of severe acute malnutrition by 33% compared to an administration only during the hunger gap period (4 month a year).
Primary Outcome
Incidence of acute severe malnutrition
