The problem
Intervention: Analysis of associations between socio-demographic factors and stunting transitions; identification of protective factors including exclusive breastfeeding and improved household food security
Who it was tested with: 692 children aged 0-3 years in two urban slum settlements (Korogocho and Viwandani) in Nairobi.
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 associations between explanatory factors and the transitions between four child stunting states were modeled using a continuous-time multi-state model." This is a longitudinal descriptive analysis that documents natural transitions and their associations rather than testing an intervention, making it practitioner-level evidence that establishes patterns but cannot demonstrate causation.
This is an observational study without intervention implementation or experimental design; it identifies associations rather than causal effects. No comparison groups or randomisation. Findings are context-specific to Nairobi slums.
