Investigation of the underlying causes of malnutrition among children in the Nyabihu and Ngororero districts of Rwanda: a cross-sectional descriptive survey design
the study highlights the urgent need for targeted, multisectoral strategies that address both knowledge-practice gaps and systemic barriers.
