DESCRIPTION
This review of both published and gray literature has two objectives: (1) to examine the research on the roles and influence of grandmothers and men in family-level nutrition practices across cultures; and (2) to examine community nutrition interventions in which grandmothers and/or men have been involved in order to understand programmatic approaches used and results obtained. The review includes analysis of studies on infant and young child feeding in HIV/AIDS-prevalent areas and specifically looks at the inclusion of grandmothers and men in prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) interventions.
