Minimal standardized assessment and also full scale assessment are also suggested for those teams who have different caqability. This system may be a very useful operational research for our national health and nutrition development program. The important function of this system would be to participate at the planning stage those ecological changes from development projects which could bear
on the health and nutrition status of population and to suggest feasible programs for control to be
instituted concurrent with implementation of projects. At the sametime those changes in health and nutrition status of the population may be a good indicator of the suscessful of those integrated development programs to the communities.
