Summary
This is a pilot quasi-experimental study to evaluate the impact of adding a family garden intervention to an existing wrap-around nutrition intervention for children with chronic malnutrition and their family. The existing nutrition intervention is provided by community health workers affiliated with Wuqu' Kawoq \| Maya Health Alliance. A single community in rural Guatemala will participate in the intervention, with the goal to recruit approximately 70 families in the combined nutrition/garden intervention. A nearby community, also participating in the nutrition intervention, will serve as a nonrandom contemporaneous control. Aims of the study include: 1. Evaluate the impact of the garden intervention on maternal and child dietary diversity, child growth and household food insecurity. 2. Use the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to conduct a preliminary implementation analysis, to guide a future, well-controlled study.
