Key Informant Interviews. Key informant interviews (▇▇▇▇) were used to better understand the perceptions and roles of the sources of IYCF information identified in the ten-seed analysis and the social mapping activity. KIIs were conducted with (1) PHU nurses, (2) MtMSG facilitators, (3) TBAs, and (4) community leaders (i.e., Imam). Participants self- identified as one of the following: PHU nurse, MTMSG facilitator, TBA, or community leader. Each key informant interview was conducted in a quiet, secluded location to maximize privacy. Several topics were discussed in KIIs, including the following: gender roles, gender equality, sources of IYCF information, MtMSGs, other forms of social support and individual counseling versus support groups. The guide for the KIIs can be found in Appendix C. In total, three KIIs were conducted with PHU nurses and MtMSG facilitators in three chiefdoms over the two districts. Two KIIs were conducted with TBAs in two chiefdoms, both of which were located within Koinadugo. Additionally, a KII was conducted with a community leader, an Imam (religious leader), in a single chiefdom in Tonkolili. A copy of the key informant interview guides used with the various participants can be found in Appendix C.

We recruited three initiation counsellors, identified by the chiefs of the villages. The traditional birth attendant (TBA) was recruited through the Safe Motherhood coordinator. The three pastors and the chiefs were recruited through health extension workers. This sampling procedure provided a diversity of views because the participants came from various rural areas and represented diverse age groups, religious affiliations, and leadership roles.
