ABSTRACT This study investigated the role of early-life nutrition supplementation in regulating the development of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, as evidenced by hair cortisol concentration (HCC), in the iLiNS-DYAD randomized controlled trial in Ghana. Pregnant women were randomized to one of three conditions: (1) iron and folic acid (IFA) during pregnancy and placebo 0-6 mo
ABSTRACT Effective transition from iron-folic acid (IFA) to multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) requires context-specific evidence. Using the MMS pilot program in Burkina Faso, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MMS and identify factors that can influence a successful scale-up. We conducted a qualitative study. In-depth interviews (n = 57) with policymakers,
