Summary

This completed trial in Somalia tested whether giving families cash transfers, with or without extra nutrition education and additional cash, could prevent malnutrition in children and mothers. Over 3,300 families received monthly mobile cash for 6 months. Researchers measured wasting and stunting rates to see which approach worked best.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cash transfers and social behavior change communication
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could show that combining cash assistance with nutrition education helps prevent malnutrition in vulnerable families.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply to other regions or populations. The interventions were short-term (6 months), so long-term benefits are uncertain.
