Summary:Objectives: The release of the new WHO guideline on the prevention and treatment of child wasting identified a dearth of rigorous evidence on the cost-effectiveness of wasting-related interventions, and especially so for interventions that integrate prevention into screening. We estimated the cost and cost-effectiveness of integrating prevention interventions - behavior change communication (BCC) and small quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) - into a facility-based platform in Burkina Faso with enhanced BCC and a community-based platform in Mali with standard BCC.
