Meer oor hierdie e-boek

This Data Note describes the trends for a set of key nutrition and health outcomes, determinants, and coverage of interventions. The findings here are based on data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 3 (2005-2006), 4 (2015-2016) and 5 (2019-2020). In addition to standard prevalence-based analyses, this Data Note includes headcount-based analyses, aligned to the POSHAN Abhiyaan monitoring framework and using data from NFHS- 5 to provide evidence that helps identify priority districts and number of districts in the state with public health concern as per the WHO guidelines.1 The Data Note includes a color-coded dashboard to compare the coverage of nutrition interventions across all the districts in the state. It concludes with key takeaways for children, women & men and identifies areas where the state has potential to improve.
