Summary
This study looked at whether teaching mothers about nutritious local foods can prevent malnutrition in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in northern Nigeria. 146 children aged 6 to 18 months with SCD took part.

The goal is to find better ways to help children with SCD grow and stay healthy.
