Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Convenience sampling was used to select both the villages and the women-child pairs in the selected villages. The sample was made up of 125 mother-child pairs. Only mothers with children between 12-23 months were interviewed. When a household was visited, the background and objectives of the study were explained briefly to the mother/caregiver of the child, after which her consent to participate in the interview was asked by reading out to her the consent form. If she agreed, she signed the form and the interview was conducted, but if she disagreed, another household was visited.
Weighting

Data Collection Notes
Individual quantitative 24-hour recall was used. The children’s food intake was accessed by two 24-hour recalls carried out on non-consecutive days. The mothers were asked to list all foods eaten by the child over the last 24 hours and these were recorded. On the first interview day, the questions from the manual (PAHO (2013). Process for the Promotion of Child Feeding. 2. ed. Washington, DC) as well as the 24-hour recall were applied. On the second interview, the 24-hour recall was repeated and the questions on the knowledge and perception of indigenous foods were asked. Only the first recall for each subject was provided in the microdata shared through FAO.
