Anthropometry training and standardization sessions will be conducted in Jordan in May in collaboration with UNICEF

The aim is to standardize all anthropometric measurements of adults, newborns and infants so that data collected will be comparable across observers and study sites throughout the study. The lead anthropometrists from each site will participate in the training. They will use exactly the same protocol to train their local anthropometry teams for the 1 and 2-year follow-up.
