There are 6 recommended modules to the SENS Nutrition Survey, which seek to collect data on the following:

• Levels of malnutrition and key health indicators in children
• Levels of anaemia in women and children
• Feeding practices of infants and young children
• Access to and use of food at the household level
• Negative coping strategies of households
• Access to safe drinking water and toilets, and hygiene
• Access to and use of mosquito nets

 

To view the SENS modules, go to: Modules and Tools.

 

 Survey teams who follow these guidelines and all 6 modules will be able to provide trustworthy data about the nutritional health of children, which gives us a good picture of the nutritional health of the population as a whole.
