Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Length-for-age/height-for-age Z-score as determined on a continuous scale. The method uses recumbent length mats or stadiometers (for children standing), with triplicate measures being taken. The timepoint is any time between 1 and 28 months of age at this single measurement. | — |

| 16/01/2020 note on changes to secondary outcome measures as of 22/07/2019: The experimental app-based imaging software for estimation of anemia was removed from beta-testing by the app developer before the start of data collection, so this measure was not able to be included in this study. Current secondary outcome measures as of 22/07/2019: 1. Caregiver-reported diarrhea in the 7 days preceding the survey (binary). Diarrhea is defined as three or more loose or watery stools – or any stools with blood – in a 24 hour period. Method: questionnaire given to the child’s main caregiver. 2. Weight-for-height Z-score, continuous scale. The method uses recumbent length mats or stadiometers (for children standing), with triplicate measures being taken. The timepoint is any time between 1 and 28 months of age at this single measurement. 3. Weight-for-age Z-score, continuous scale. The method uses of recumbent length mats or stadiometers (for children standing), with triplicate measures being taken. The timepoint is any time between 1 and 28 months of age at this single measurement. 4. Stunting (binary). From anthropometry, stunting is defined as at least 2 standard deviations below the WHO reference mean for this population, age-adjusted height or length. The method is use of recumbent length mats or stadiometers (for children standing), with triplicate measures being taken. The timepoint is any time between 1 and 28 months of age at this single measurement. 5. Combined prevalence of the following enteric pathogens (measured as binary for individuals: positive for any of these = 1, negative for any of these = 0). We will use the CDC enteric pathogen TaqMan array card (TAC), designed for the Childhood Health and Mortality Prevention (CHAMPS) Study led by CDC. 6.
