Capacity building of student volunteers to influence infants & young child feeding behaviors of urban mothers.

Abstract

The study attempted to build capacities of NSS student volunteers as community mobilizers so as to impart knowledge on the issues related to optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices over a period of one month (four days/week). Further, they were expected to sequentially improve community participation by involving community change agents (CCAs) who in turn would build their own capacities for IYCF practices.
