dc.description.abstractVitamin A (VA) remains one of the core micronutrients as VA Deficiency (VAD) in children has persisted as a public health problem in many parts of Africa and Asia with adverse micro and macro-level effects. Caregivers of children are essential in the control of VAD; however, there is paucity of data on their knowledge of VA, dietary sources and VAD. This study sought to assess the level of VA-related nutrition knowledge (VANK) and its predictors among caregivers of children aged 24–59 months in Eastern Uganda.en_US
