Background: Limited data exist on malnutrition prevalence in Madagascar. We aimed to assess the point prevalence of childhood malnutrition in the Anivorano region, and to explore mothers' perceptions of barriers to proper nutrition.
Methods: In a mixed methods study we measured height and weight for 313 children, aged 6 months to 5 years during summer 2011 using a recumbent measuring board and calibrated scale, and simultaneously conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 mothers of malnourished (n=19) and healthy (n=41) children.
