Global population growth is concentrated in urban areas, but there is little understanding of how to implement the necessary interventions to control food and nutrition insecurity. In the urban area of Peru, food insecurity is characterized mainly by micronutrient deficiencies and not by energy deficiency.
To increase the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of weekly multimicronutrient supplementation programs in poor urban communities.
A series of operational studies were conducted of preventive weekly multimicronutrient supplementation to reduce micronutrient-deficiency anemia in a population consisting of 8,081 children under 5 years of age and 20,082 women and adolescent girls of reproductive age (12 through 44 years).
This is one of a series of papers that describe in as much detail as possible the experiences of a multimicronutrient intervention program for poor urban mothers and their young children and summarizes the lessons learned for consideration of future programming.
This paper shows that such programs can achieve a high compliance with good training of program staff involvement of the community, education and motivation of beneficiaries, adequate supplies, and careful monitoring.
全球人口增长集中在城市地区，但对于如何实施必要干预措施以控制粮食和营养不安全状况，人们了解甚少。在秘鲁的城市地区，粮食不安全主要表现为微量营养素缺乏，而非能量缺乏。
提高贫困城市社区每周多种微量营养素补充计划的有效性和成本效益。
开展了一系列关于预防性每周多种微量营养素补充的操作性研究，以减少由8081名5岁以下儿童以及20082名育龄妇女和青春期女孩（12至44岁）组成的人群中的微量营养素缺乏性贫血。
这是一系列论文之一，这些论文尽可能详细地描述了针对贫困城市母亲及其幼儿的多种微量营养素干预计划的经验，并总结了所吸取的经验教训，以供未来规划参考。
本文表明，此类计划通过对项目工作人员进行良好培训、社区参与、对受益者进行教育和激励、提供充足物资以及仔细监测，能够实现高依从性。
