| dc.description.abstract | Vitamin A is one of the most essential nutrients that a child needs. This study examines the prevalence of vitamin A intake of children in relation to mothers' educational level using the data from the 2003 National Demographic and Health Survey conducted by the National Statistics Office and applying logistic regression to measure the outcome of maternal education against child nutrition. Among the findings of this paper are: I) Maternal education is statistically significant at 0.001 level with each level of education having a p-value close to 0.000; 2) Most of the mothers who haven't attended formal schooling are not informed with the essential nutrients that their child needs. | |
