Background
Most cost effective and sustainable intervention to address iodine deficiency is the Universal Salt Iodization (USI). According to the National Family Health Survey 5 (NFHS 5) data, 94.3% of the households in India were consuming adequately Iodised salt.
Objectives
1. To estimate the prevalence of Iodised salt utilisation at the household level using a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT).
2. To determine the factors influencing Iodised salt utilisation at the household level.
3. To estimate the Urinary Iodine Excretion (UIE) among the tribal population.
