The problem
Intervention: Pediatric oral nutritional supplements provided to children at risk of undernutrition
Who it was tested with: Children at risk of undernutrition in 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.
"A decision tree model was constructed to assess the impact of pediatric ONS on health and economic outcomes of children at risk for undernutrition in India. Outcomes included changes in mean childhood height-for-age Z-score (HAZ), morbidity, and lifetime earnings." This is a modeling study projecting economic impacts from nutritional interventions using assumed relationships between anthropometric improvements and economic outcomes.
Model-based projections rather than empirical trial data; outcomes depend on assumptions about height-wage premium and discount rates; actual implementation effectiveness may vary
