Community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) is an effective approach for treating acute malnutrition (AM), but low (50 percent) screening levels for AM impede effectiveness of CMAM. Scaling up screening coverage to 90 percent of acutely malnourished children could save 435,000 lives per year. In this cluster-randomized control trial in Burkina Faso, researchers studied the impact of behavior change communication preventative packages and the use of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements on screening rates. Findings showed that these interventions increased participation in monthly AM screening, thus overcoming a major impediment to CMAM effectiveness.
