Utilization of an Economic Development Program in the Context of a Community-Based Nutrition Program in Rural Bangladesh - A Qualitative Study

摘要

To promote appropriate complementary feeding and improve child nutrition, an economic development (ED) program with income-generating asset transfer was added to the context of a Positive Deviant (PD)/Hearth program that took a behavior change communication approach in rural Bangladesh. Our study examined main elements influencing the program uptake and utilization in four thematic areas: motivation, facilitator, barrier, and performance, comparing the participants who received either PD program only or both PD/ED programs.
