SPRING stands for Sustainable Programme Incorporating Nutrition and Games. It is an integrated nutrition and development intervention delivered at scale by community-based agents (CBAs), through monthly home visits from pregnancy through the first two years of life using a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) based counselling approach to enhance the likelihood that behaviour change will occur. The impact of the SPRING intervention on child growth and development is being evaluated through parallel cluster randomized controlled trials in India and Pakistan.
The final SPRING impact evaluation datasets comprise of the:
1) Baseline survey (cross-sectional, pre-implementation of SPRING): 2 datasets - India and Pakistan
2) Assessment survey (children aged 12 and 18 months, cross-sectional, post-implementation of SPRING): 2 datasets - India and Pakistan
3) Monthly feeding survey (longitudinal follow-up of children from birth, post-implementation of SPRING): 2 datasets - India and Pakistan
