Files relate to CESR work in Iraq. This series begins with the 1991-1992 work of the Harvard research team and their study of childhood malnutrition in Iraq. This study was replicated in 1995 and 1996 by CESR, which was founded by three members of the Harvard research team. In 1997 the research shifted to include adults and food security. The series includes original survey materials (primarily in Arabic), drafts and published versions of the team's reports, correspondence, and pertinent research articles.
