The problem
Intervention: Health education to increase maternal knowledge about stunting and child nutrition
Who it was tested with: Parents of stunted children aged 0-5 years in Kelambir Village, Pantai Labu District, Indonesia.
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 purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge about child nutrition and the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-5 years. This study used correlation analytical design with cross sectional approach." The study examined associations but did not test an intervention to change maternal knowledge or measure its impact on stunting reduction.
The study only measured association between knowledge and stunting in a cross-sectional design; no intervention was tested, so causation cannot be determined. The sample included only parents of already-stunted children, with no comparison group of non-stunted children. The findings suggest knowledge is related to stunting but do not demonstrate whether improving knowledge reduces stunting.
