Implementation outcomes of convergence action policy to accelerate stunting reduction in Pidie district, Aceh province, Indonesia: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe research aims to understand the challenges and opportunities in policy and programme convergence to accelerate interventions for reducing stunting at the district, subdistrict and the 10 focused villages.
designData were collected through qualitative methods (in-depth interviews and document reviews), and then analysed using thematic processes with NVivo V.11 software, by QSR International The process included coding, categorising and linking to the eight implementation outcome variables (as determined themes), namely acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, compliance, implementation cost, coverage and sustainability. The variables of convergence action policies were implemented differently by stakeholders at different layers of governance.
settingPidie district, Aceh province, Indonesia.
participants106 respondents from provincial to village levels were selected and interviewed, including leaders and policymakers (n=10); and convergence action implementers from the province to the villages (n=96).
resultsStunting reduction policies were generally acceptable to local leaders and policymakers as a policy imperative. Implementation costs were considered sufficient by stakeholders, although focusing only on nutrition-specific interventions. However, in terms of adoption, feasibility, compliance, nutrition-sensitive intervention coverage and sustainability aspects were insufficiently implemented in all the focused villages due to inadequate collaboration between health and non-health sectors and limited experts.
conclusionsThis study offers key recommendations for policy and practice changes and considerations. The utilisation of methods and findings from this study in other areas in Indonesia or other low- and middle-income countries is important to explore more about the applicability, benefits and weaknesses of this study.
