First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study tests whether a simple text-message system can help caregivers in Kenya spot early signs of malnutrition in children exposed to HIV. About 600 caregiver-child pairs will be split into two groups: one gets weekly texts with feeding tips and reminders to measure the child's arm, while the other gets only appointment reminders. The goal is to see if the text system reduces wasting, hospital stays, and deaths.
