If malnutrition is high among children in an area, what should the nutrition expert’s work begin with?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nutrition assessment and community education
A sound nutrition intervention begins with assessment: measuring the extent of malnutrition, identifying dietary, health, social, and economic causes, and locating vulnerable groups. Community education can then address locally relevant practices, but it should be based on assessment and followed by monitoring rather than relying on posters alone.
