The WHO Steering Committee and methodologists for the 2023 WHO guideline on wasting and nutritional oedema are leading a CHNRI exercise to develop a comprehensive global research priority agenda around wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children under 5 years. This research priority agenda will aim to address the most urgent evidence and research gaps related to child health and health equity in these populations.

Survey 1 was undertaken to ensure the list of research questions is comprehensive and clear for scoring within survey 2.

We are pleased to now invite any researchers, clinicians, policy makers, program implementers, and community partners with expertise in wasting and nutritional oedema to complete survey 2.
 

The objectives of survey 2 is to score research questions based on their answerability, effectiveness, deliverability, and effects on equity. You will be able to select the population(s) and topic(s) for which you will score each research question based on your expertise (e.g. prevention of wasting and nutritional oedema).

You can access the survey, which contains more detailed instructions, here.

The deadline for submission of survey 2 is 11 May 2025.

Thank you so much in advance for your contributions to this important process.
