From efficacy to public health impact: A call for research on program delivery and utilization in nutrition

Abstract

Despite the high potential of nutrition interventions to save lives and to improve the quality of life of those who survive, programs are not being implemented effectively or at scale in most regions of the world. Research on delivery and utilization is urgently needed to fully unleash the potential of nutrition programs. The symposium sought to explore knowledge on determinants of delivery and utilization, demonstrate approaches for studying them, and highlight future research needs. © 2008 American Society for Nutrition.
