    Individual Food Consumption/Dietary Survey [hh/ifcs]
    Abstract

    The aim of the survey was to assess nutritional status and dietary practices of mothers and children in pulse and non-pulse growing rural communities in southern Ethiopia.
    Kind of Data

    Sample survey data [ssd]
    Unit of Analysis

    Individuals.

    Scope

    Notes

    The survey collected information on:

    • SUBJECTS: information on the participants such as age, sex and geographical location
    • CONSUMPTION: information on all foods consumed by each participant in each survey day, including quantities and nutrient values

    Coverage

    Geographic Coverage

    Sub-national coverage, only rural areas.
    Universe

    The population groups covered in the survey were mothers/caregivers and their children of 6-59 months of age.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A multi-stage sampling procedure was followed. Study communities were selected purposively. The choice was based on whether each community was identified as a "leading pulse growing community" or mainly a "cereal growing" community by the local agricultural offices.

    The sampling frame was built by listing all eligible households (those with mothers and children under the age of 5 years) in each community using the local Health Extension worker's registry.

    Finally, individual households/mother-child pairs were selected randomly. About 8 to 10 trained female data collectors started from a central location in each community and walked in different directions until eligible households were found and the desired sample size was achieved.
    Weighting

    No survey weights were used in this survey.

    Data Collection Notes

    The primary dietary assessment method was food record/diary. Trained female data collectors stayed with each participant recording all foods/drinks consumed for the whole day. Both weekdays and weekends were covered in the survey, and the records were not repeated for the same individual.

    The secondary dietary assessment method was a 24-hour recall used to assess dietary diversity and calculate diet diversity scores for all mothers and each of the children between the ages of 6 and 59 months included in the study. Likewise, the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess the consumption frequency of selected food and food groups (such as pulses, fruits and vegetables, animal source foods, etc.)
