Series Information
The randomized control trial evaluation consists of two rounds of data collection: a baseline survey during the second quarter of 2014, a midline in 2015 and an endline in 2016. Interventions started in September 2014 in all the treatment groups. At endline, we will compare the value added of each layer with its added cost, and as a consequence, assess the cost-effectiveness of alternative modes for service delivery.
Abstract
The MAHAY study uses a multi-arm randomized-controlled trial (RCT) to test the cost-effectiveness of combined interventions to address chronic malnutrition and poor child development. The arms of the trial are: (T0) existing community based nutrition program program with monthly growth monitoring and nutritional/hygiene education; (T1) is T0 + home visits for intensive nutrition counseling within a behavior change framework; (T2) is T1 + lipid-based supplementation (LNS) for children 6-18 months old; (T3) is T2 + LNS supplementation of pregnant/lactating women; and (T4) is T1 + intensive home visiting program to support child development.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
Our sampling frame is the universe of community nutrition project sites in the target regions of the program. From this universe of project communities, we drew a sample of communities that was randomly assigned to five groups. The comparison group for our study is the program as currently designed (as opposed to no program in most of the evaluation literature). In the four randomized arms, we have sequentially added increasing levels of intensity and complexity to the current intervention, starting with the lowest cost option and incrementally adding layers of intensity (and cost) to test the value added of each layer in terms of their ability to reduce stunting/growth faltering and promote child development.
