Analysis framework for social determinants and their influence on food intake by women 

Session Overview

This session would review a common framework used for social determinants of food intake by women, explore and identify potential pathways, the proximate determinants, and the indicators. The appropriate approaches to derive the above information would be discussed. Relevant evidences would be shared and discussed for clarity and appropriateness of the framework in different contextual settings.
