Abstrakt: The article discusses the characteristics of community-based distributors that best predict maternal vitamin A or beta-carotene supplementation coverage in Nepal. Although interest in community-based micronutrient supplementation programs is growing, high coverage levels must be sustained over time in order to have the desired effects. Key findings of the study indicate that successful supplement distribution can depend on factors external to the distributor, such as village, household, and recipient characteristics.
