This survey was conducted to identify the factors associated with under coverage of IOI in priority groups of individuals in the district and reasons of deviation of available IOI to non-priority group. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 600 households in the identified cluster using structured, pre tested questionnaire was done. A total of 20 sites within the 10 clusters were surveyed. Focused group discussion was carried out with program personnel, health workers/officials in the district and other community key informant to find out program attributes, community participation and mobilization for the success of the program.

As single injection protected injection receiving for four years, IOI used to be repeated every fifth year. Within these ten years of time several districts have undergone two or three cycles of IOI for prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disorder among the high risk groups of children and women of reproductive age. This survey was conducted to identify the factors associated with under coverage of IOI in priority groups of individuals in the district and reasons of deviation of available IOI to non-priority group.
