Vietnam Direct Service Observation, Alive and Thrive Sustainability Assessment 2017

This survey is part of a cluster-randomized evaluation of the sustained impact of the Alive & Thrive (A&T) Bangladesh program on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability dimensions and determinants of activities implemented during the first A&T phase (2009-2014) in Bangladesh and Vietnam. This quasi-experimental mixed methods study used qualitative data (interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders) about determinants of sustainability; and quantitative data (surveys with health workers and caregivers of young children, service observation data) to examine dimensions of sustainability.
