Main description:

The manual is written for people in charge of planning, implementing and evaluating food security and nutrition projects; these include project managers, nutritionists, health workers, planning and evaluation specialists and many others. The manual includes definitions and key indicators for nutrition- and health-related knowledge, attitudes and practices. It provides useful guidance for planning and conducting a KAP survey, and for analyzing and reporting the survey results. The manual also provides model questionnaires (modules). These can be used to facilitate the design of KAP survey questionnaires. Using them contributes to the standardization of KAP studies and the comparability of their results. The modules comprise predefined questions that capture information on critical knowledge, attitudes and practices related to the 13 most common nutrition topics.
