An interventional study of LNS with zinc and LNS without zinc in Malnutrition, sponsored by University of California, Davis. Completed at 1 site in Burkina Faso. Open to participants aged 9 Months to 15 Months, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-02-23.
Sponsored by University of California, Davis · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of the study is to assess the acceptability of the two lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) formulations containing no zinc and a high amount of zinc (10 mg zinc / 20 g dose of LNS). The hypothesis is that both products will be equally accepted by children and mothers.
We plan to conduct a series of acceptability studies to: 1) assess the amounts of zinc-free and high-zinc LNS consumed by children during direct observation, 2) compare their mothers' sensory assessments of the respective products, and 3) review maternal reports of their child feeding experiences during more prolonged home feeding trials.
1,587 studies on the registry are indexed under Malnutrition; 237 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 36 is below the median of 90 across 1,134 interventional studies indexed under Malnutrition.
