Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the impact of distributing ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) on the nutritional health of children aged 6 to 60 months in Niger by comparing two groups: one receiving RUTF and another not receiving it.
- A cluster randomized trial was conducted in 12 villages, with 6 villages receiving monthly RUTF packets and 6 serving as the control group with no intervention.
- Results indicated an improvement in the nutritional status of children in the RUTF group, shown by an increase in their weight-for-height z score and a decrease in rates of wasting over an 8-month follow-up period.
