Formative research is necessary to effectively develop and implement a Sprinkles intervention in a new setting. There is a lack of journal articles which emphasise on describing in detail the formative research to develop Sprinkles interventions, especially in India. Formative research involves a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to help inform recruitment and retention of study participants, determine measurement procedures and acceptability, and aid in intervention design and implementation. It is the process by which researchers define and assess attributes of the community or target audiences that are relevant to the specific public health issue of interest. It has been estimated that around 2 billion people worldwide suffer from micronutrient malnutrition. Micronutrient Powders (MNPs) are an innovation developed for Home Fortification (HF) to address anaemia and vitamin and mineral deficiencies in vulnerable populations. While originally designed for consumption by older infants and young children, MNPs can provide micronutrients to other vulnerable populations by enabling families to fortify many different foods in the home, without changing the diet that is the concept of home fortification. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued global, evidence informed recommendations on home fortification with MNP. In order to implement multiple micronutrient sprinkles interventions in a country like India, which has several states with different cultures and diversities, implementing interventions in each state can be a hard task, but carrying out formative research in each of these states with focus on local language, traditions, beliefs and cultures for example packaging & design of sprinkles sachets can be in the local languages which have the potential for paving the way for better implementation of multiple micronutrient sprinkles interventions.
