dc.description.abstractThe effects of nutritional supplementation, with or without psychosocial stimulation, of growth-retarded (stunted) children aged 9-24 months were assessed in a study in Kingston, Jamaica. 129 children from poor neighbourhoods were randomly assigned to four groups—control, supplemented only, stimulated only, and supplemented plus stimulated. A group of matched non-stunted children (n=32) was also included. The supplement comprised 1 kg milk-based formula per week for 2 years and the stimulation weekly play sessions at home with a community health side. The children’s development (DQ) was assessed on the Griffiths mental development scales.
