The problem
Intervention: Supervised probiotic/synbiotic supplementation daily for first 10 days then weekly until 6 months of age
Who it was tested with: Infants aged 0-5 months in rural Kenya.
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.
"a combination of the ingredients approach, activity-based costing and microcosting" and "semistructured interviews with key informants informed a thematic analysis of implementation feasibility and the development of a theoretical programme structure, which formed the basis for estimating total economic programme costs." The study provides cost and feasibility modeling rather than outcome evaluation of the probiotic/synbiotic intervention's effectiveness on infant health.
This is a cost analysis only; it does not provide evidence on the health effectiveness of the intervention or actual achievement of projected programmatic costs. Results are based on trial data and theoretical programmatic scenarios rather than real-world implementation.
