Food-related behaviors of rural (Asaase Kooko) and peri-urban (Kaadjanor) households in Ghana
The meal-sharing patterns and eating practices reported in some rural and peri-urban households could potentially impact the nutrition and health of children. Our findings suggest the need for nutrition education for mothers to provide adequate and nutrient-rich foods to support optimal child growth and development.
