Small-Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements: What to Communicate to Program Participants

This brief was developed for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance-managed International Food Relief Partnership. It provides information that will help implementing partners develop communication materials to accompany distribution of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) for children 6–24 months of age and pregnant and breastfeeding women whose diets are nutritionally suboptimal and/or insufficient. SQ-LNS are intended to be consumed in addition to the regular meals pregnant and lactating women and children under age two consume each day.
