Prevalence and influencing factors of micronutrient powder adoption among children aged 6–24 months by parental and grandparental caregivers: an analysis from rural China
Future efforts to improve the feeding behavior of caregivers in MNP programs both in China and abroad should improve children's preference for MNP by changing its composition and taste, and increase caregivers' feeding self-efficacy through health education. Moreover, parents should be taught to cope with time and ability barriers that may limit MNP adoption, while grandparents should be emphasized the importance and potential side effects of MNP.
