PY - 2018 DA - 2018/03/20 TI - Optima Nutrition: an allocative efficiency tool to reduce childhood stunting by better targeting of nutrition-related interventions JO - BMC Public Health SP - 384 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Child stunting due to chronic malnutrition is a major problem in low- and middle-income countries due, in part, to inadequate nutrition-related practices and insufficient access to services. Limited budgets for nutritional interventions mean that available resources must be targeted in the most cost-effective manner to have the greatest impact. Quantitative tools can help guide budget allocation decisions. SN - 1471-2458 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-5294-z DO - 10.1186/s12889-018-5294-z ID - Pearson2018 ER -
