Preventing malnutrition within the first 1000 days of life in under-resourced communities: An integrative literature review.

ABSTRACT: This integrative review aimed to summarise existing best evidence practice for preventing malnutrition within the First 1000 Days of Life in under-resourced communities. BioMed Central, EBSCOHOST (Academic Search Complete, CINAHL and MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, JSTOR, Science Direct and Scopus were searched as well as Google Scholar and relevant websites for grey literature. Most recent versions of strategies, guidelines, interventions and policies; published in English, focussing on preventing malnutrition in pregnant women and in children less than 2 years old in under-resourced communities, from January 2015 to November 2021 were searched for. Initial searches yielded 119 citations of which 19 studies met inclusion criteria. Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidenced-Based Practice Evidence Rating
