Field guide on rapid nutritional assessment in emergencies

Overview

This field guide is intended for all those who are faced with the need to make rapid but reliable estimates of the nutritional situation in an emergency as a basis for subsequent action.

In an emergency, time is often limited and there is a need for immediate information on the severity and extend of nutritional problems.

As a result, data are often hastily collected and are later found to be of little use.
