一个大规模的印尼项目,结合了健康,教育和卫生干预措施,并没有显著减少儿童缩. 虽然一些母亲和儿童营养指标有所改善,但综合方法面临实施挑战.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 国际发展国际发展
- 营养干预 营养干预
背景情况:
- 儿童发育迟缓仍然是一个关键的全球卫生问题,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家.
- 结合卫生,教育和卫生设施的综合方法经常被提出,以解决衰老的多方面的原因.
- 印度尼西亚的儿童发育不良负担很高,需要有效的干预策略.
研究的目的:
- 评估一项大型多元组件项目的对印尼儿童衰老的影响.
- 评估社区驱动的发展资助,卫生提供者培训和卫生干预措施对滞后和相关结果的有效性.
- 确定实施的挑战,并为未来的计划设计提供信息,以减少衰老的举措.
主要方法:
- 一个集群随机对照试验在南苏门答腊,西卡利曼坦和中卡利曼坦的190个分区进行.
- 这项研究涉及一项价值1.2亿美元的项目,该项目于2014年至2018年实施.
- 干预措施包括健康/教育补助,婴儿养/生长监测培训以及社区主导的整体卫生培训.
主要成果:
- 没有发现对儿童发育迟缓的主要结果有重大影响 (0.5pp;95% CI: -3.0至4.1pp).

Randomized Experiments
7.0K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...
