Zinc Sulfate Acceptability Study in Children With Acute Diarrhea: A Prospective, Open-label, Interventional Study

The treatment will be considered to have good acceptability if 80% of the prescribed treatment is taken by at least 70% of the children.

A subjective evaluation measured on the basis of a caregiver's report of his/her child's behavior (through a 5-point pictorial Hedonic scale) during the 10 days when the medicine is administered. A 'Diary Card' will be provided to the caregiver for keeping the daily records of the events.

Development and Field Testing of Ready-to-use-therapeutic Foods Made of Local Ingredients in Bangladesh for SAM Children

Development and Field Testing of Ready-to-use-therapeutic Foods Made of Local Ingredients in Bangladesh for the Treatment of Children With Severe Acute Malnutrition

The primary objective of the proposed study will be to develop ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) that will ultimately be used to treat childhood severe acute malnutrition which continues to be highly prevalent in Bangladesh. This will involve selection of candidate recipes of RUTF and testing them for acceptability and efficacy among children and caregivers. The successful candidate recipe of local RUTF is expected to have better weight gain (g/kg/d) in children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM).
