The problem
Intervention: Analysis of sociodemographic factors (parental education and income) and maternal parenting patterns as risk factors for stunting
Who it was tested with: Stunted children aged 6-23 months (cases) and non-stunted children aged 6-23 months (controls) in community health center areas.
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.
"This type of research is quantitative with a case-control study design, which is an analytical study (survey) concerning how risk factors are studied using a retrospective approach. The case population in this study were all stunted children aged 6-23 months in the Mompang Community Health Center working area. The control population in this study were non-stunted children aged 6-23 months in the North Panyabungan Community Health Center area who lived side by side with stunted children." The case-control design with comparison between stunted and non-stunted groups provides evidence stronger than simple before-after studies, though without randomisation it remains quasi-experimental.
The document does not provide specific numerical results, odds ratios, p-values, or detailed statistical findings. Accidental sampling may not yield a representative sample. The abstract does not specify which sociodemographic factors or parenting patterns showed the strongest associations.
