Protocols

The iLiNS Project has developed research protocols for acceptability studies, efficacy trials, and socio-economic studies. Once protocols are finalized, the protocols, and/or links to the protocols, will be made available at this website.

Protocols for acceptability studies and efficacy trials will all be registered and publicly available at clinicaltrials.gov, a website maintained by the U. S. National Institutes of Health.

Links to protocols registered at clinicaltrials.gov are also provided here.

Acceptability studies

• Burkina Faso (iLiNS-ACCEPT-B)
  Acceptability of Zinc-fortified Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements
• Ghana (iLiNS-ACCEPT-G)
  Acceptability of Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (LNS) for Women and Infants
• Malawi (iLiNS-ACCEPT-M)
  Acceptability of LNS in Malawi: the “iLiNS-ACCEPT-M” trial

Efficacy trials

• Burkina Faso (iLiNS-ZINC)
  Optimal Amount of Zinc to Include in a Lipid-based Nutrient Supplement (LNS)
• Ghana (iLiNS-DYAD-G)
  Efficacy of Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (LNS) for Pregnant and Lactating Women and Their Infants
• Malawi (iLiNS-DOSE)
  Prevention of Linear Growth Failure in Infants and Young Children With Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (iLiNS-DOSE)
