  • Descrição: The UNICEF Community-based Infant and Young Child Feeding Counseling Package (C-IYCFCP) currently has limited responsive feeding (RF) content, thus limiting dissemination of RF messages within infant and young child feeding (IYCF) counseling. This project 1) developed counseling cards based on existing evidence-based RF guidelines and 2) tested their feasibility in Ghana. Five RF counseling cards were developed focusing on eating with family; introducing new foods; hunger/satiety cues; food texture; and calming a child. Four focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with adult mothers and fathers of children younger than 3 y of age to assess the cultural appropriateness of the cards and accompanying key messages. The feasibility of including cards as part of IYCF counseling was tested via 1) systematic observation of 8 group education sessions utilizing the cards with the same target audience and 2) in-depth interviews with health care providers involved in IYCF training and/or counseling. FGD findings guided changes to all cards to ensure comprehension and cultural appropriateness. The group education sessions suggested that the counseling cards provided important RF messages that are specific, clear, and feasible to implement. Health care providers strongly endorsed the need for and utility of the RF counseling cards and felt they were feasible and important to integrate into the C-IYCFCP currently being used to deliver IYCF training and counseling in Ghana. The counseling cards have a strong potential to add key RF dimensions to IYCF training and counseling in Ghana. We developed and tested responsive feeding counseling cards that can substantially strengthen UNICEF's Community-based Infant and Young Child Feeding Counseling Package in Ghana.
