The study identified the availability of numerous (pro)vitamin A\u2013rich foods, but these foods are either not consumed or consumed by few in low amounts and\/or in low frequencies. The main constraining factors identified are related to financial accessibility (for liver), seasonal availability (for egg, milk, mango, papaya, and green leafy vegetables), and beliefs related to consumption and preparation (for green leafy vegetables). However, the study also revealed that the study population associated all identified (pro)vitamin A\u2013rich foods with positive attributes such as health, strength, and vitamin richness, which might offer an entry point for designing and implementing dietary interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on the findings of this formative research, intervention strategies with mango and liver are proposed to improve the vitamin A intake and status of children in the rural areas of Burkina Faso.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/156482650502600405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T15:50:55Z","timestamp":1448466655000},"page":"356-365","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Community Assessment of Availability, Consumption, and Cultural Acceptability of Food Sources of (PRO)Vitamin A: Toward the Development of a Dietary Intervention among Preschool Children in Rural Burkina Faso"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Constance P.","family":"Nana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inge D.","family":"Brouwer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noel-Marie","family":"Zagr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frans J.","family":"Kok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfred S.","family":"Traor\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-156482650502600405","volume-title":"Plan National d'Action pour la Nutrition; version r\u00e9vis\u00e9e","author":"de la Sant\u00e9 Minist\u00e8re","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr2-156482650502600405","first-page":"38","volume":"12","author":"Zagr\u00e9 NM","year":"2002","journal-title":"Cahier Sant\u00e9"},{"key":"bibr3-156482650502600405","volume-title":"Food based approaches for a healthy nutrition in West Africa.
