The problem
Intervention: School feeding programs providing meals to primary school children
Who it was tested with: Primary school children in India, comparing beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of school feeding programs.
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 study design used was cross sectional comparative. The data were collected using questionnaires, anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI) and school records." This comparative design with measurement of nutritional outcomes in two groups allows for outcome evaluation, though the cross-sectional nature limits causal inference.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; potential confounding variables between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries not controlled for; specific numerical results not provided in the abstract
