This paper presents a picture of the general patterns of complementary feeding behaviours in urban Ghana. A focused ethnographic study protocol for assessing complementary feeding developed for the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition was used to collect data from caregivers of children 6-24 months of age. We examined the multiple factors that influence the selection of foods for infants and young children in this urban setting, and found that economic factors, health beliefs and other nurturing-related values, access to food and issues of convenience all play important roles. We conclude that the interactions of nurturance, cost and time are vectors that affect feeding decisions.
本文呈现了加纳城市中补充喂养行为的一般模式图。我们使用全球营养改善联盟制定的用于评估补充喂养的重点人种学研究方案，从 6-24 个月大儿童的照顾者那里收集数据。我们研究了影响该城市环境下婴幼儿食物选择的多种因素，发现经济因素、健康信念和其他养育相关价值观、食物获取以及便利性问题都起着重要作用。我们得出结论，养育、成本和时间的相互作用是影响喂养决策的向量。
