New USAID Global Health e‑Learning Course on Nutrition Published
Inadequate maternal and child nutrition is the underlying cause of 3.5 million deaths every year and 35 percent of the disease burden for children under 5 years of age. Universal coverage of proven nutrition-related interventions could reduce overall mortality of children under 3 by 25 percent. This e-learning course, the first of several planned on nutrition, discusses the basic concepts of good nutrition and common nutritional deficiencies, the magnitude of malnutrition in different populations, vulnerable groups and the causes of undernutrition, and key indicators and ways of measuring them. It also outlines the major population-based interventions to improve nutritional status.
The course, authored by FANTA-2 and produced by JHUCCP, is available through the USAID Global Health e-Learning Center website. All courses are available free to anyone interested, however, registration is required.
