The problem
Intervention: Expanded coverage of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and complementary food interventions
Who it was tested with: Filipino children.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"using a compartment-based model, it finds a 10-percentage point reduction in the prevalence of stunting, with the expansive promotion of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and complementary food interventions." The modeling approach projects potential population-level impact if coverage of evidence-based nutrition interventions is substantially expanded.
The evidence is based on a mathematical model rather than empirical trial data; actual effectiveness depends on successful implementation and uptake of interventions at scale.
