How do I use the new WHO Child Growth Standards for calculation and reporting of prevalence of malnutrition with the ENA software?
The ENA software allows you to calculate nutritional indices by either using the NCHS reference 1977 or the new WHO Growth Standards 2006 in the Data Entry Anthropometry screen. Survey results should be reported using both the NCHS reference and the WHO Growth Standards until the WHO Growth Standards have been fully adopted in the country where you conducted the survey. For example, depending on what is appropriate and acceptable, you may decide to include the NCHS reference prevalence estimates in the main body of the survey report while reporting on the WHO Standard prevalence estimates in an Appendix, or vice versa.
