• 1 other identifier: IHRPGD/3007/18
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 1,012
• Locations: 0 countries

Brief Summary

Hypotheses of the study

1. 1.Mothers/ caregivers who have less knowledge and attitude about the prevention of IDD their table salt obtained from in the households has less quantity of iodide than those mothers/ caregivers who might have knowledge and attitude.
2. 2.Mothers/ caregivers with poor knowledge and attitude in iodized salt utilization circumstances that their index children have at higher risk of iodine deficiency compared with their properly utilizes counterparts. linear
3. 3.Children's poor dietary intake has low hemoglobin concentration compared to their peers who used diversified dietary intake.
4. 4.Children with a low concentration of iodine have stunted growth (linear growth) compared with their high iodine concentration peers at the end of the follow-up period of fifteen months.
5. 5.Children with a low concentration of hemoglobin have stunted growth (linear growth) compared with their high hemoglobin concentration peers at the end of the follow-up fifteen months.
6. 6.Higher concentrations of micronutrients due affect the growth of children compared with their higher concentration of micronutrients at the end of the follow-up period of fifteen months.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention arm will receive nutrition behavior Children's mothers/caregivers will receive explanatory education and behavior about micronutrient essentiality and utilization. Also, dietary diversification and demonstration in the process of enriching child complimentary food will be given for participants every month for the consecutive six months. Posters and video shows will be used.

Behavioral: nutrition behavior intervention

control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
