The Impact of Community Health Workers on Child Malnutrition in the Philippines

Communities that are randomized into the Treatment arm will receive the Flourish program. Communities with a Flourish program will select and train a Community Health Worker from the Transform program participants. At the end of the Transform program, a Savings Group will be formed from the Transform program participants. The Savings Group will nominate households to participate in the Flourish program and research study. The Community Health Worker will approach the nominees and attempt to enroll them into the Flourish program and research study. If the nominees agree to be enrolled in the Flourish program, the Community Health worker will provide screening, referral, counseling, and treatment services to the household for the duration of the study.
