title: [Knowledge, attitude, practice and related determinants on nutrition among caregivers of rural stranded children under 7-year-olds in China].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) and related determinants on nutrition among caregivers of those rural stranded children under 7 years of age in China and to provide evidence for setting up relevant health education program.
  
  
  METHODS
  1691 caregivers of the stranded children randomly selected were surveyed by a standard questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to screen the determinants on KAP regarding nutrition.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Rates on awareness, positive attitude and approprite behavior were lower in caregivers of children whose parents both left (47.8%, 55.4%, 41.8%, respectively) the countryside, when compared with those only one parent was away from home (59.9%, 59.5%, 38.0%, respectively). Data from multivariable logistic regression models showed that caregivers' KAP on nutrition was related to age, educational background, average family income, and willingness on the job as well as the age of the child.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Improving caregivers' KAP on nutrition and setting up appropriate health education program were in urgent need.
