What Are the Public Health Interventions for Childhood Nutrition?
Several public health interventions aim to improve childhood nutrition:
1. Supplementation Programs: Providing essential vitamins and minerals to children, such as vitamin A and iron supplements. 2. School Feeding Programs: Ensuring that children receive at least one nutritious meal per day through school-based programs. 3. Nutrition Education: Educating parents, caregivers, and children about healthy eating habits and balanced diets. 4. Policy and Regulation: Implementing policies to reduce the availability of unhealthy foods and promote access to nutritious options.
