eligibility criteria for one of three groups, based on a screening questionnaire
administered by an interviewer to the child's mother.

or fortified milk in the past 24 hours, 4) received a high-dose VA capsule during the
previous month, and 5) received a screening tool 'score' suggesting VA intake above 600 µg
retinol/d.

Eligibility criteria for children in Group 2: will include children who: 1) consumed MNP or
a multi-vitamin A preparation that contains vitamin A in the previous 7 days, 2) consumed
at least one fortified staple food (oil or wheat flour) in the previous 7 days, 3) consumed
breast milk or fortified milk in the past 24 hours, 4) received a high-dose VA capsule in
the previous 3-6 months, and 5) received a screening tool 'score' suggesting VA intake
above 600 µg retinol/d.

Eligibility criteria for children in Group 3: will include children who: 1) received a high
dose VA capsule during the previous 3-6 months, and 2) received a screening tool 'score'
