Interdisciplinariedad: su valor en un programa de nutrición comunitaria

The multiple factors associated with the nutritional status of children in a community are directly related to the complexity of the communities themselves. Thus, the impact of a community nutrition program depends largely on the effective integration of interdisciplinary teams in the target communities. For a community nutrition program to succeed, professionals must work together efficiently, going beyond the traditional limits of their disciplines. It is necessary to build a interdisciplinary team, recruiting the active participation of paraprofessionals, members of the institutions involved, and community agents. An integrated approach optimizes the effectiveness of strategies for assessment and intervention, making programs more sustainable in the mid and long term.
