dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to assess the acceptability and usefulness of Direct Recording Scale (DRS) as a tool for growth monitoring of under five children in a rural community area of Karnataka among 46 mothers. A total of 40 children were followed up for one year, 50% mothers preferred having DRS at home, 87.5% mothers said DRS, helps in detecting undernutrition, 48% mothers needed no help in using DRS, 50% mothers were regular in weight recording, 87.5% mothers wanted the weight recording done once in three months. All families had accepted DRS as a tool for growth monitoring. | en_US |
