Essential interventions, risk assessments and counselling topics for optimal maternal nutrition care
Population-level risks are based on the most recent prevalence estimates of key nutrition indicators for a
specific geographic area or population group. As these nutrition indicators are most likely obtained from
survey data, population-level risks may be identified at the national or sub-national level by the appropriate
government body. The recommended interventions for identified population risks should then be
disseminated to health centres for implementation. When a geographic area or population group meets the
thresholds of the risk assessment, the recommended intervention applies to the population as a whole and
does not depend on individual assessment....
