“…Naz et al (2014) discuss that while women self-report high levels of participation in household food and nutrition security, few are satisfied with their decision-making power in the household. Osorio et al (2018) find that in Colombia, women's autonomy is associated with lower levels of chronic child malnutrition. Mukhergee and Kundu (2012) find in West Bengal, India, that men continue to dominate, especially in household money management decisions, even though women's participation in self-help micro-credit groups increased their participation in household decision-making.…”

in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

“…The probability is 63.7% when the child belongs to a household with a low standard of living, all other things being equal [20]. More recent work by Ossorio et al, (2018), has confirmed the association between standard of living in the household and malnutrition, according to the author, at the level of individuals and households, the probability of malnutrition [5].…”

“…Several studies have studied the determinants of malnutrition. According to OSORIO, Ana María et al [5], the context in which the children live affects their health, regardless of the characteristics of the children, their mother, and their household. Communities share physical, social, and economic attributes that may be fundamental to improve the health condition of individuals.…”

Introduction: The SMART survey (2017) in the Far North region, Cameroon presents high prevalence of malnutrition: 4.5% of global acute malnutrition (GAM) and 40.9% of chronic malnutrition (CM). Objectives: To examine the relationship between multidimensional poverty and malnutrition among children under-five in the Mayo-Danay Division. Specifically, assess the nutritional status of children, describe the living conditions of children in households and measure the association between multidimensional poverty and nutritional status of children. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was conducted on a cluster sample at two levels. Anthropometric measurements were used to assess the nutritional status of children. The non-monetary, simplified approach, based on the search for deprivation indices of the well-being of children in the household was used. Results: Out of 433 children surveyed, we observed: 4.4% GAM; 13.9% of underweight and 23.3% MC. Out of the 65,82% poor children, 13,59% had chronic malnutrition; 2.09% GAM and 15.00% underweight. Multidimensional poverty among children was associated with the CM (OR = 4, 436; (CI = 2, 767-7,111) and GAM (OR = 4, 194; (CI = 1, 514-11,416). Conclusion: The study highlights the interaction between the living conditions of children in households and the impact on their nutritional status. Multidimensional poverty is associated with malnutrition in children. We recommend to initiate a simulation and comparison study, of poverty reduction scenarios, in the study area.

“…In relation to this, many studies have shown how SES influences the adequate fulfilment of processes related to physical, emotional, and cognitive development [ 8 , 9 ]. Additionally, low-SES is associated with malnutrition [ 10 , 11 ]. According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) [ 12 ], globally, poor nutrition negatively impacts the development in one out of every three children.…”

Cognitive interventions in children and adolescents from low socioeconomic status backgrounds: a systematic review protocol of randomized controlled trials

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Many studies have evaluated the effects that a lack of resources has in children’s physical and cognitive development. Although there are reviews that have focused on applied interventions from different perspectives, there is still a need for a comprehensive review of what has been attempted with these children from the cognitive intervention field. The aim of this paper is to present a protocol for a systematic review collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies whose purpose was to enhance cognitive development through the implementation of cognitive interventions in children and adolescents (< 18 years old) from low socioeconomic Status (SES) settings. Methods The following databases will be searched: Web of Science (WoS core collection), PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, ERIC, PubMed, ICTRP and Opengrey Register (System for Information of Grey Literature in Europe). Searches will be adapted for each database. Additionally, the reference list of articles included in the review will also be searched. As part of this process, two reviewers will determine, independently, the suitability of each article taking into account predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Pertinent data will then be extracted, including sample characteristics, specifics of the intervention, and outcomes, as well as follow-up measures. Internal validity will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. A quantitative synthesis of results will be conducted using a meta-analysis. However, if a meta-analysis is difficult to implement due to the diversity of the studies (for example, in terms of measures used to estimate the effect size, intervention types, outcomes, etc.), the technique synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM) will be used. A description of outcome measures will be provided, as measured by validated neuropsychological instruments of any cognitive function. Discussion The systematic review will offer a framework based on evidence to organisations, institutions, and experts who want to implement or promote interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive domains in children and adolescents who live in disadvantaged contexts. Systematic review registration This protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on 16 March 2020 (registration number: CDR42020150238).
