• TITLE: Which Target Population for Promotion Programs on Health Infant Feeding Practice in Laos?

  AUTHORS: Viengsamay Sengchaleun, Daniel Reinharz

  KEYWORDS: Determinant of Infant Feeding, Lao PDR, Mother, Nutrition Strategy

  JOURNAL NAME: Food and Nutrition Sciences, Vol.12 No.8, August 23, 2021

  ABSTRACT: One of the determinants of the poor improvement in child nutrition indicators observed in Laos is mothers’ feeding practices. These practices are influenced by many socio-environmental factors and are expected to be targets of public health programs against malnutrition. The purpose of this work is to examine how the Lao National Nutrition Strategy (NNS) incorporates the issue of the determinants of the behavior of mothers of young children in its recommendations. We argue that the little consideration brought in the NNS to key determinants of women’s behavior is a major explanatory factor for the poor performance in improving the nutrition status of Lao under-five-year-old children.
