Title
Positive Deviance in Child Nutrition: With Emphasis on Psychosocial and Behavioural Aspects and Implications for Development
Abstract/Description
Complementary to the UNU-UNICEF Research on the Evaluation of Programmes of Nutrition and Primary Health Care at the Household Level, the research summarized in this volume was commissioned by the WHO-UNICEF Joint Nutrition Support Programmes financed by the Government of Italy. It examines the performance of mothers who were successful in maintaining their children's and family's nutrition and health under conditions of poverty in which most were failing to do so.

The major objectives of this study of positive deviance were to identify successful child-care and feeding behaviours and to determine effective aspects of social support systems as a basis for designing policies and programmes to reinforce and extend these adaptations to more mothers.
