Facilitators and barriers to anemia prevention in the urban government childcare program for infants and young children in Peru
The Peruvian Cuna Mas complementary feeding program facilitated consumption of iron-rich ASF and iron supplements through a range of strategies which they then shared with caregivers for implementation at home. These institutional behavioral change initiatives could be replicated in other settings whilst considering the facilitators and barriers identified in this study.
