I want to do a dissertation on this topic: effects of treatment of acute malnutrition in the earlier years on the nutrition status in the late stages of pre-schooler years (48-60 months). I need your advice and guidance, whether this is topic is already researched or not.

Dear Anonymous,

Advice from en-net moderators suggests that what is needed here to move forward would be a scoping review / rapid literature review.

The following might be helpful in terms of methodologies and approaches to that:

I hope this helps.

Best wishes
