Description The purpose of this study is to assess changes over time in use of iodized salt and its related determinants, and the association between these changes and exposure to an iodized salt promotion program among women in Nampula Province. A random sample of 491 and 473 women aged 15-65 residing in Nampula Province were recruited to participate in the baseline and follow-up studies, respectively. A multi-stage cluster sampling approach was used. The sample was stratified into urban areas and rural districts, and a list of all urban barrios and rural villages in the study area and their respective sample sizes was created. The sample was chosen to reflect the urban and rural population distribution (31% and 69%, respectively): 5 urban barrios and 14 rural villages were selected each round using probability proportional to size. In each selected area, neighborhood blocks were chosen based on the number of interviews in each bairro/village (30 people per urban bair
ro and 25 per rural village). Analyses consisted of unianovas to examine trends over time and the association between program exposure and changes in health behaviors and determinants. Study design variables (urban/rural residence and primary sampling unit) and sociodemographic characteristics were controlled for in the analyses. It is important to emphasize that this study did not conduct testing on salt samples and relies on the respondent's knowledge of whether or not the salt that they use is iodized. Therefore, this study only considers salt that comes pre-packaged and labeled "iodized salt."
