Malawian Mothers Consider Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements Acceptable for Children throughout a 1-Year Intervention, but Deviation from User Recommendations Is Common [Community and International Nutrition]

Conclusions: The acceptability of LNS products was good and was sustained for 12 mo in this rural Malawian population. However, sharing of the products with family members and deviation from other feeding recommendations were frequent, which means that individually targeted children were likely to receive less than the intended dose of the LNS. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00945698.
