Summary

Options for large-scale preventive distributions include fortified blended flours, ready-to-use foods and direct cash transfer either alone or in combination with family protective rations. Finding the most appropriate strategy is essential to prevent child malnutrition in countries like Niger with annual hunger gaps. Here, the investigators compare different preventive strategies on the incidence of acute malnutrition among children 6 to 23 months.
