Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized, controlled effectiveness study examines Nutributter programming within an integrated package of maternal and child health services offered by Haiti's Ministry of Health (MSPP) to prevent undernutrition among young children in Haiti. The aim of the process evaluation is to better understand the uptake of Nutributter® as a complementary food in the diets of young children and its feasibility and acceptability as part of MSPP's package of services. This project is being carried out at a public hospital in Fort San Michel, an impoverished community outside of Cap Haitien, Haiti.
