Brief Summary

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

The prevention of malnutrition among children under 5 years of age requires consumption of nutritious food, including exclusive breast feeding for the first six months of life, followed by breastfeeding in combination with complementary foods thereafter until at least 24 months of age; a hygienic environment; access to preventive as well as curative health services, and good prenatal care. The proposed research is on the possible options for providing a nutritious diet, realizing the constraints of poverty and food insecurity faced by care givers whose children are at risk of developing or confirmed to be suffering from moderate malnutrition. Even when people are not typically food insecure but consume a relatively monotonous diet with few good-quality foods, they also have to have options for dietary improvement, and especially the possibility of ready-to-use complementary food supplements (RUCFS) for young children. This proposed research on development of RUCFS will pave the way for programmatic considerations for expansion of the use of new complementary food supplements for preventing malnutrition among young children in Bangladesh.
