ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Women Supporting Women to Improve Infant and Child Feeding Practices," is focused on helping mothers and caregivers improve the nutrition and health of their young children. Undernutrition in children under 2 years old can lead to serious health problems and even death, especially in places like Pakistan, where many children suffer from stunted growth. The main aim of the study is to support families with moderately malnourished children aged 7 to 23 months by teaching mothers better feeding practices, child care techniques, and how to seek medical help when needed.

To participate in this trial, families must have a moderately malnourished child between 7 to 9 months old, and both parents need to agree to take part in the study. Participants will receive guidance and support to help their children grow healthier at home. It's important to note that this study is currently recruiting participants, so families interested in joining can reach out for more information. Your involvement could make a significant difference in your child's health and development!
