Under a program of monthly home visits, locally recruited community health workers implemented the intervention of nutrition counseling and growth monitoring over a six-month period. The results of the study are encouraging: child height increased and stunting decreased as a result of the program. The program is cost-effective and relatively simple to implement, and the program components can potentially be integrated into existing community health worker programs in Pakistan.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2019-07-01","end":"2019-07-30","cycle":"Baseline"},{"start":"2020-09-01","end":"2020-10-30","cycle":"Endline"}],"nation":[{"name":"Pakistan","abbreviation":"PAK"}],"analysis_unit":"Child, household","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The surveys cover the following topics: identification, household roster and details, child feeding practices, water, sanitation and hygiene practices, household characteristics and assets, intergenerational transfer of beliefs, anthropometric measurements, effects of the COVID-19 crisis, beliefs and perceptions about child health and education, home environment, engagement with the program, and migration and fertility history of paternal grandmother"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Details on sampling procedure can be found in the report \"A Community Health Worker\u2013Based Intervention on Anthropometric Outcomes of Children Aged 3 to 21 Months in Urban Pakistan, 2019\u20132021,\" available to download.","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]"],"research_instrument":"The questionnaires for the baseline and endline surveys are provided in English and are available to download.","coll_situation":"CAPI F2F household surveys.
