ClinConnect Summary

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.
