Nutritional Impact of a Project on Food Security and Nutrition in Children of 6 Months to 5 Years of Age Receiving Home Fortification With Micronutrient Powders in Nariño, Colombia
In Brief
An observational study evaluating "Papas más nutritivas" (PSAN) for Hemoglobin and Anemia. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The effectiveness of micronutrient powders or MNP as a strategy for the prevention of micronutrient deficiencies has been described in the literature. However, few studies have shown the impact of the inclusion of other simultaneous actions on the different dimensions of food and nutritional security (as in the case of the project "Papas más nutritivas") that will contribute to the improvement of nutritional status, obtaining potentially greater benefits. The objective is to establish the existence of difference in hemoglobin values (and other biochemical parameters as secondary outcomes) among children aged 6 months to 5 years who receive home fortification with micronutrient powders (MNP) belonging to the project "Papas más nutritivas", and children with home fortification with MNP but not belonging to the project.
