Community Health Volunteers Boost Nutrition Outcomes in Kenyan Households
Community Health Volunteers in Kenya play a crucial role in improving nutrition outcomes for households with young children. A study in Siaya County found that regular visits from CHVs, referrals for services like immunization and growth monitoring, and counseling on topics like complementary feeding and kitchen gardens were associated with better nutrition outcomes. The researchers recommend continued support for CHVs to enhance their impact on child nutrition.
