Understanding multifactorial drivers of child stunting reduction in Exemplar countries: a mixed-methods approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several countries have notably reduced childhood stunting relative to economic growth over the past 15-20 y. The Exemplars in Stunting Reduction project, or "Exemplars," studies success factors among these countries with a lens toward replicability.

Objectives

This paper details the standardized mixed-methods framework for studying determinants of childhood stunting reduction applied in Exemplars studies.

Methods

An expert technical advisory group (TAG), criteria for identifying Exemplar countries, evidence-based frameworks, mixed methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, policy, literature review), effective research partnerships, case study process and timeline, and data triangulation and corroboration are presented.
