Formative Research Exploring Acceptability, Utilization, and Promotion in Order to Develop a Micronutrient Powder (Sprinkles) Intervention among Luo Families in Western Kenya

Abstract

Issues related to Sprinkles preparation, use, and barriers required attention before implementation. Locally appropriate visual and written instructions were developed for dissemination. Intervention training sessions and promotions were tailored to answer frequently asked questions, increase knowledge of Sprinkles, and provide tangible evidence of health benefits. Information needs and perceptions changed quickly after use of Sprinkles. Existing levels of Sprinkles awareness and knowledge should be considered when designing interventions.
