THE APPROACH
Our research combines literature review with multiple methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis to form conclusions about each intervention, program, and contextual factor that may have contributed to Peru’s substantial reduction in stunting prevalence. Here, we break these drivers out into (1) nutrition-specific interventions, (2) nutrition-sensitive interventions, (3) population health and contextual factors, and (4) programs, and visually compare and contrast the findings from each of these analyses.
