Alive & Thrive's implementation research spans its program areas, seeking to answer "how" to implement effective interventions and policies. Active studies are detailed in the attached documents.

The Alive & Thrive (A&T) initiative aimed to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in Ethiopia through large-scale implementation of social and behavior change communication interventions in four regions of Ethiopia.

The goal of this project was to assess the willingness of parents and caregivers of children under the age of 5 to purchase a lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) for their children on a weekly basis.
