What this Trial Is About
Protocols for the community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) have not changed significantly for more than 20 years, with relatively complex treatment protocols and persistent supply chain challenges that have limited overall program coverage, leaving millions of malnourished children without care annually. The overarching goal of this research project is to simultaneously test two novel simplified approaches in CMAM with potential to improve program coverage. The simplified approach includes two parallel clinical trials for SAM and MAM treatment. For the Family MUAC follow-up study, children who recover from these two parallel clinical trials will be enrolled in trial to test the effectiveness of MUAC screening at home by the child's caregivers as a self-referral strategy, compared to a scheduled health facility-led strategy and the standard of care of community-based follow-up visits.
