Summary

This study looks at whether training mothers to measure their child's upper arm with a simple tape can help catch malnutrition early and prevent relapse. About 2,400 children who recovered from severe acute malnutrition will take part. Some mothers will check their child's arm weekly and bring them back to the clinic if the measurement drops too low. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the number of children who become malnourished again.
