Study Summary

The investigators are studying how to prevent malnutrition in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in northern Nigeria. Community health workers will teach mothers about nutritious local foods that might help children grow better than the usual advice from doctors. The investigators will enroll 148 children with SCD aged 6 to 18 months old. The investigators will determine if their weight and diet improve and check for low vitamin A levels. This information will help us find better ways to improve growth for children with SCD.

Primary Outcome

Mean change in weight-for-age z score in the randomly allocated groups, standard care versus the novel maternal intervention. This is a continuous outcome where a higher z-score indicates a positive outcome.
