Malnutrition

Great Mothers, Healthy Children Campaign

In May 2013, SPRING/Uganda conducted emotion-based formative research investigating child feeding practices during and after illness and perceptions about malnutrition in the first two years after birth. Using projective techniques, the team sought to determine what emotion-based "hot buttons" will move parents of children 0-2 years of age to take nutrition-specific actions when their child is sick.
