The Garissa Integrated Nutritional Survey utilized the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment in Relief and Transition (SMART) survey methodology to assess malnutrition prevalence in children 6-59 months of age in Bangale, Madogo, Bura, Galole, and Wenje Divisions in the Tana River District of Kenya's former Coast Province.
