BMJ started out over 170 years ago as a medical journal, publishing our first research paper. Now, as a global brand with a worldwide audience, we help medical organisations and clinicians tackle today’s most critical healthcare challenges.
Today, our expertise extends to medical education, clinical decision support, data analytics and quality improvement to enhance day to day decision-making and healthcare delivery.
However, our core objective remains unchanged. We continue to support medical professionals and organisations in improving the delivery of healthcare. We do this by publishing new academic research, providing professional development solutions and creating new information-analysis tools.

Abstract
Introduction
In Kenya’s Kitui County, 46% of children under 5 years are stunted. Sanitation and nutrition programmes have sought to reduce child undernutrition, though they are typically implemented separately. We evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated sanitation and nutrition (SanNut) intervention in improving caregiver sanitation and nutrition knowledge and behaviours.
