The data being presented is based on the thesis I am completing for honors in Biobehavioral Health. The first aim of my thesis was to understand the current infant and young child feeding practices in indigenous Guatemalan communities. The second aim of my thesis was to understand the current barriers to achieving optimal nutrition for infants and young children. Feeding practices and barriers were assessed through data from semi-structured interviews, household meal observations and participatory community workshops.
