Macro-micro dynamics of child undernutrition in Pakistan: a structural learning-based Bayesian network analysis of household and policy drivers

Background

Child undernutrition remains a major public health concern and creates health-related inequalities in developing countries, with long-term consequences for human development deficits. Most of these early studies were conducted using conventional econometric techniques; however, understanding the complex, multi-level determinants of undernutrition may require more advanced analytical methods.
