This electronic tool is used by nutrition workers in the community to help them record, interpret, and summarize results of the OPT Plus—the measure of the nutritional status of children 0-59 months old. The key features of the 2022 e-OPT Tool include the following:

1.       Autofill of population data in the Summary worksheet, as well as auto-labelling of the Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC) for each barangay.

2.       The counts of mothers/caregivers of children classified as having undernutrition and overnutrition.

3.       The count of the number of children with either weight or height measurement missing or those with incomplete information.

4.       Additional columns have been added to highlight children 0-23 months old in the Summary table to show the total number and prevalence in each of the three nutrition status indices.

5.       The tally of children belonging to the Indigenous Peoples (IP) groups according to the nutritional status classification in each of the three nutrition status indices.

Kindly note that updating population projection for city/municipal, provincial, and regional consolidation tools is ongoing as of 11 February 2022.
