Brief Summary:
Adolescents diets are key to breaking the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition This study will guide policies and programs on the adequacy acceptability and feasibility of implementing balanced energy protein and multiple micronutrient supplementations to fill nutrient gaps in adolescent girls Using a trial the study will assess dietary intake and nutrient gaps acceptability of balanced energy protein and multiple micronutrient supplementations In addition to the trial the study will the assess willingness to pay for the supplements and the most effective delivery platform and model to reach vulnerable adolescent girls The most effective delivery platform and model to reach vulnerable adolescent girls cost-effectively will also be assessed through interviews with international experts producers and the donor community
Detailed Description:
In low- and middle-income countries it is estimated that each year 21 million adolescent girls become mothers Infants of adolescent mothers are at increased risk of delivering babies preterm with low birth weight or length Targeting nutrition interventions to improve adolescent girls diet and nutrition is crucial to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poor growth and development There is a specific need to assess how a balanced energy protein BEP and multiple micronutrient MMN supplement interventions can be tailored to adolescent girls and women of reproductive age
This study aims to assess the adequacy acceptability and feasibility of implementing nutritional supplementations to fill nutrient gaps in adolescent girls in resource-limited settings A trial will specifically
1 assess the short-term acceptability of BEP and MMN supplements
2 assess how nutrition supplements increase nutrient adequacy of diets adolescent girls in resources-limited settings
Using a qualitative component the study explores the food agency of adolescents and the most effective delivery platform to reach vulnerable adolescent girls cost-effectively The overall aim is to guide policies and programs on new formulations of nutritional supplements for adolescent girls in resource-limited settings
