“…Those participants who earned average monthly income of ≥1000 birr with [AOR = 1.03, 95%CI = (0.41, 2.58)] were factors associated to practice of iodized salt in the study area. This finding was supported by study done in Asella Town Arsi Zone, Ethiopia [ 28 ]. All the type of containers used to store salt was one of the factors associated with good practice of iodized salt at household level.…”

Appropriate knowledge, practice, and availability of iodized salt are used to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders. However, little is known about the availability of adequately iodized salt in the western part of Ethiopia. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess knowledge, practice, and availability of iodized salt and associated factors at household level in Jibat woreda, Ethiopia. Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using structured and pretested questionnaire interview. Sampling salt was tested by the iodometric titration method. The result showed that iodine content more than 90% was considered as adequately iodized salt. The result of this study shown that among the 357 salt samples, 191(53.5%) households had good knowledge on iodized salt while 166 (46.5%) had poor knowledge on iodized salt. In addition, the result of the study revealed that 162 (45.4%) had good practice of iodized salt, whereas 195 (54.6%) had poor practice of iodized salt. The result of this study also shown that 149 (41.7%) households were using adequately iodized salt while 208 (58.3%) were using inadequate iodized salt in study area. Residence area, education level, household job, and average monthly income were significantly associated with knowledge of iodized salt at household level. Residence area, educational level, average monthly income, and expose to sunlight were significantly associated with availability of adequately iodized salt. In this finding, the knowledge and practices of iodized salt at household level in Jibat woreda, Ethiopia, were poor, and the availability of iodine in iodized salt was inadequate. This is associated to residence area, education level of household, and average monthly income. Therefore, any concerned body/institution should have to work in the above gabs of the knowledge, practice, and availability of iodized salt.

Background and Objective: Pregnant women are the most susceptible group for Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) whose neonate are at the risk of brain impairment, if they are iodine deficient in utero. The study was carried out to analyze the concerns and effects regarding iodized salt and IDD in women seeking antenatal care in Pakistan Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Obstetrics OPD at Civil Hospital Karachi from April 2017 to January 2018. In this study, antenatal care seeking women (n=360) visiting obstetric outpatient department (OPD) at public sector tertiary care hospital of Karachi were interviewed face to face using a structured questionnaire. Systematic random sampling method was employed. Kruskal Wallis test was applied to assess the significance among study variables. Results: Sixty-three (63.6%) of pregnant women heard about iodized salt. Approximately 40.6% of them received iodized salt related information through mass media. Ninety (90.6%) were ignorant that their unborn child needs iodine for brain development. A statistically significant association was found between the educational status (p<0.001), household income (p<0.001), age (p=0.016), ethnicity (p=0.018), trimester (p=0.005) with the knowledge of study participants regarding iodized salt and IDD. Conclusion: There is an immense need to address the present concerns of women seeking antenatal care by advocacy and health education on individual and at mass level regarding the use of iodized salt among women seeking antenatal care. Advocacy can be done by governmental initiatives, medical personnel and through mass media in all tertiary care hospitals of Pakistan. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.8.5220 How to cite this:Shaikh F, Mumtaz SN, Shaikh AA.

Introduction: Iodine is one of the crucial micronutrients required for the normal growth of humans from the fetal stage to adulthood through the synthesis of thyroxin (t3) and triiodothyronine (t4) hormones in the thyroid gland for regulation of metabolism, protein synthesis, and brain development. This study aimed to assess iodine status, the impact of knowledge and practice for adequate iodized salt utilization in household levels in North West Ethiopia. Method: A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out using multistage sampling among 1398 residents from 28 December 2021 to 30 January 2022. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. The collected data were entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 and then exported to STATA/R version 14 for further analysis. An adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was used to declare statistical significance at p < 0.05. Result: The overall mean (±SD) age of participants was 34.9 (±12.8) years. About 678 (48.5%) had 15–80 ppm, 23 (1.6%) had >80 ppm, 533 (38.13%) had 1.1 ppm to 14.9 ppm, and 147 (10.5) had no iodine in salt (0 ppm) after assessed by Rapid Test Kit. Only 48.5% of the sampled household had used adequate iodized salt with ≥15 ppm. The overall burden of goiter was estimated at 11.4/1000 population. Adequate iodized salt utilization was significantly associated with having formal education (adjusted odds ratio = 1.89: 95% confidence interval: 1.4, 2.6, p = 0.001), monthly income ≥5000 ETB/month (adjusted odds ratio = 1.99: 95% confidence interval: 1.5, 2.9, p = 0.001), and good knowledge score (adjusted odds ratio = 1.6: 95% confidence interval: 1.12, 2.6, p = 0.03) were predictors for proper iodized salt utilization. Conclusion: Coverage of adequately iodized salt was low and respondents’ formal education, monthly income ≥5000 Ethiopian Birr/month, and good knowledge score were all significantly associated with proper iodized salt utilization. While the prevalence of goiter was not significantly identified as a public health problem as compared in the regions, however, in light of previous iodine deficiency in this region of Ethiopia, the salt iodization program should be done continually.
