Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an improved corn-soya blend (CSB+) and a new formulated ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) are effective in the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition in children.
Detailed Description
Assuming the availability of some food in the household, the caregivers were instructed on how best to use the food they have and the quantity of supplementary food distributed was calculated to provide about 50% of child energy requirement.
