The problem
Intervention: Improved basic household amenities including covered drainage systems, sanitation facilities, and reduced household crowding
Who it was tested with: 510 children in a low-income community in Mumbai, India.
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.
"the availability of basic facilities and recent infections play a stronger role in determining child nutrition status when household wealth is controlled." This finding suggests that investing in sanitation and reducing disease transmission may be more effective than income-focused interventions for improving child nutrition in low-income settings.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causation; single community case study limits generalizability; no experimental or comparison group design to isolate causal effects of specific interventions
