This project aims to assess the efficacy of three options under consideration in India for home management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). The investigators propose to conduct a multi-center randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of two community-supported home-based regimes using centrally or locally produced Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) for recovery from uncomplicated SAM after 16 weeks of management, compared with an augmented home-prepared foods regimen. The trial will enroll 911 children with uncomplicated SAM and will have enough statistical power to detect a 15% or greater difference in recovery rates between either one of the intervention groups compared with comparison group.
