The problem
Intervention: Vitamin A supplementation programs delivered through health facilities and postnatal care services
Who it was tested with: 616 mother-child pairs in North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia, with children aged 6-59 months.
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 community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 616 mother-child pairs recruited using multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize frequencies and proportions. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with VAS uptake." The study identifies correlates of supplementation access but does not measure impact on vitamin A deficiency or health outcomes.
Cross-sectional design cannot establish causality. This is a survey identifying associations with supplementation uptake rather than evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention on child health outcomes. Data are from one zone and may not generalize.
