Arlington: Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING);USAID (2017), iv, 25 pp.
"Study findings indicate that community videos aid spousal communication in support of maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN) behaviors even if husbands do not attend the disseminations. The visual presentation of MIYCN messages improved the transmission of information, which then facilitated communication between the husband and wife. Community members and family members confirmed these findings; they indicated that community video is a promising approach for strengthening spousal communication on important health issues."
