    Using behavior change approaches to improve complementary feeding practices

    Improving complementary feeding of children 6 to 24 months of age requires an understanding of what drives feeding behaviors in specific cultural and economic contexts and which systematic approaches best facilitate beneficial and feasible changes. This paper analyzes social and behavior change approaches and use of program delivery platforms at scale that resulted in documented improvements in Bangladesh, Malawi, Peru and Zambia. The authors conclude that complementary feeding practices, particularly dietary diversity, can be improved rapidly in a variety of settings through available program platforms if interventions focus on specific constraints and strategies encourage caregivers to prepare and feed appropriate foods.

    Sexual networks and HIV risk among black men who have sex with men in six U.S. cities

    Analysis of self-reported data from 1,349 black men who have sex with men in the United States, a group that is disproportionately affected by HIV, found that the men's sexual networks were relatively small and often overlapped with their social networks. Network interventions that engage the social networks of black men who have sex with men, such as peer influence, should be developed to affect social norms around HIV testing and HIV status disclosure.

    Gaps between breastfeeding awareness and practices in Vietnamese mothers result from inadequate support in health facilities and social norms

    Two approaches to reducing the gap between breastfeeding awareness and practice are strengthening support in health facilities and making desired practices normative. Increased early initiation of breastfeeding can be achieved through strengthening support by health staff, minimizing unnecessary Cesarean deliveries and ensuring infant-friendly health facilities. Programs can improve exclusive breastfeeding practices by addressing the sociocultural environment through counseling and support, mass media campaigns and highlighting of the negative effect of infant formula advertisements.
