Treatment of child wasting: Child Health Research Initiative (CHNRI) prioritisation exercise dataset

Child wasting (low weight for height) affects approximately 49.5 million children under five years globally. The aim of the Child Health Research Initiative (CHNRI) prioritisation exercise, performed on behalf of 'No Wasted Lives', was to identify and prioritise key outstanding research questions that would enable child wasting to be treated more effectively and at greater scale. This quantitative dataset contains responses of 313 participants to a survey questionnaire performed on approaches to acute malnutrition treatment. Data available on request (with appropriate data sharing agreement) from No Wasted Lives, Action Against Hunger authors named as contacts.
