Maternal nutrition: information for action resource guide
Christopher Roessel et al
While some elements of maternal nutrition are well known, discussion and experimentation continue on important nutritional and delivery issues. This Resource Guide, aimed at field staff who are not nutritionists, summarizes recent literature on this important topic. The annotations discuss both the causes and effects of maternal undernutrition. They also describe simple monitoring techniques to gauge maternal nutrition status and short-term programmatic interventions to improve it, such as food fortification, food supplementation, vitamin distribution, and health education.
