Summary

This study tested whether giving monthly nutritional supplements (SQ-LNS) to children aged 6-23 months could increase measles vaccination rates in northern Nigeria. Over 3,800 children participated across 20 wards. The goal was to see if the supplement acted as an incentive for families to bring their children for vaccination. Results could inform future public health strategies.
