Nutritional status of young children in Mumbai slums: a follow-up anthropometric study.
TL;DR: The data support the idea that much of growth faltering was explained by faltering in height for age, rather than by wasting, and suggest a focus on a younger age-group than the children over the age of three who are prioritized by existing support systems.

TL;DR: It is suggested that poor women in Mumbai recognise symptoms of obstetric complications and the need for health care, and that more than 80% also sought care for minor conditions, which implies that the tendency to seek institutional care for serious conditions reflects a broader picture of care-seeking for all illnesses.
