    Author: Brozek J, Coursin DB, Read MS.
    Journal: Bull Pan Am Health Organ; 1977; 11(3):237-49. PubMed ID: 411533.
    Abstract:
    Six major Western Hemisphere longitudinal studies of malnutrition and development are in their final stages. These studies are taking place in Columbia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. As a step toward synthesis of the results, a conference was held at Cali, Colombia, with the aim of clarifying differences and similarities. The following features of each study were considered: The starting and completion dates; the research design (including scheduled periods of observation and the presence or absence of nutritional supplements and/or stimulation); the populations involved, their home diets, and the specific supplements and stimulation received; procedures and measurements used in the study; and any general conclusions reached. The conference also identified opportunities and needs for exchange of information between projects and for a collaborative approach to such specific problems and topics as birth-weight, physical growth, and behavioral development.
