A systematic review of adaptations and effectiveness of scaled-up nutrition interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Public health nutrition interventions shown to be effective under optimal research conditions need to be scaled up and implemented in real-world settings.

Objectives

The primary aim for this review was to assess the effectiveness of scaled-up public health nutrition interventions with proven efficacy, as examined in a randomized controlled trial. Secondary objectives were to: 1) determine if the effect size of scaled-up interventions were comparable to the prescale effect, and; 2) identify any adaptations made during the scale-up process.

Data sources

Six electronic databases were searched and field experts contacted.

Study selection

An intervention was considered scaled up if it was delivered on a larger scale than a preceding randomized controlled tri
