The data constitutes the baseline survey of a before-after cluster-randomised trial evaluating the Alive & Thrive programme in Burkina Faso. This was a cross-sectional household survey (N=2,288), designed to select a population-representative sample of women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years) with at least one live birth in the previous 12 months living in rural areas of Boucle du Mouhoun, Burkina Faso. The dataset contains information on the following: socio-demographic characteristics of the woman & her husband; household assets; reproductive history; antenatal, delivery & postnatal care relating to the index birth; illnesses the infant has experienced in the past fortnight; initiation of breastfeeding; current infant feeding patterns (food diaries); problems/difficulties experienced relating to breastfeeding; sources of information & advice relating to infant feeding; and the woman’s knowledge of optimal infant feeding practices.

| Description of data capture | Our target population were rural communes of Boucle du Mouhoun, Burkina Faso. Urban communes and four rural communes where another nutrition intervention was ongoing were excluded. Women were sampled using a two-stage approach. First, within each commune, we randomly selected three villages with probability proportional to size, using the most recent national census (2006) as the sampling frame. We then conducted a census of each selected village to identify all eligible mothers within the village. Women were eligible to participate if their infant, aged less than 12 months, was alive and living with them at the time of the survey. Twenty mother-infant pairs (of whom 10 infants were less than 6 months old and 10 were 6 to 11 months old) were sampled per village using stratified simple random sampling. A structured questionnaire was administered by trained interviewers using PDAs. |
