PROMIS Burkina Faso Follow-Up Data of the Longitudinal Study 2015-2017, Child*Month*Platform Level

The dataset contains longitudinal data ( child*month*Platform follow-up) of the impact evaluation in Burkina Faso of the “Innovative Approaches for the Prevention of Childhood Malnutrition” (PROMIS) project, which integrated a preventive intervention package into Community Management for Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programming in Burkina Faso and Mali. Using cluster randomized designs, we evaluated the impact of integrating preventive services into screening for child acute malnutrition on acute malnutrition screening and treatment coverage and acute malnutrition prevalence and incidence. The PROMIS program sought to address the low screening coverage in Burkina Faso by integrating two preventive interventions into the screening at monthly well-baby consultations offered at the health center: (1) behavior change communication on essential nutrition and hygiene actions to improve child nutrition and health-seeking behavior, including for malnutrition; (2) the provision of a small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) to all children to increase intake of essential nutrients (and prevent undernutrition) and to incentivize caregivers to participate regularly in acute malnutrition screening. The intervention was implemented by Helen Keller International through the national health system. Data were collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with AfricSanté.本数据集包含布基纳法索"儿童营养不良预防创新方法"（Innovative Approaches for the Prevention of Childhood Malnutrition，PROMIS）项目的影响评估纵向数据（儿童-月龄-平台随访）。该项目将一套预防干预包整合至布基纳法索与马里的社区急性营养不良管理（Community Management for Acute Malnutrition，CMAM）方案中。本研究采用整群随机试验设计，评估了将预防服务纳入儿童急性营养不良筛查环节，对急性营养不良筛查与治疗覆盖率、患病率及发病率的影响。该PROMIS项目旨在解决布基纳法索筛查覆盖率偏低的问题，具体方式是在卫生中心提供的月度婴儿健康随访咨询的筛查环节中，整合两项预防干预措施：（1）围绕改善儿童营养状况与就医行为（含营养不良相关就医行为）的必要营养与卫生行动开展行为改变沟通；（2）为所有儿童提供小剂量脂质营养补充剂（small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement，SQ-LNS），以提升其必需营养素摄入量（并预防营养不良），同时激励照护者定期参与急性营养不良筛查。本干预措施由海伦·凯勒国际（Helen Keller International）依托国家卫生系统落地执行。数据由国际粮食政策研究所（International Food Policy Research Institute，IFPRI）与AfricSanté合作采集。
