Iodine deficiency (ID) is recognized as the world’s greatest single cause of preventable mental retardation in communities with low dietary consumption of iodine. Universal salt iodization (USI), is the universally agreed strategy for the control of ID. Communities in remote mountainous regions in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are considered to be most at risk of developing ID. This project rapidly assesses the status of salt iodization in the remote communities in three provinces in PNG. There are three separate analytical sections in this technical report. The first section presents the data and interpretations of the rapid assessment of the use of salt, salty condiments, and flavourings in households in remote communities in three provinces. The second section presents the data and interpretation of the rapid market survey that assessed the availability of staple foods and condiments in markets in these remote communities.
