Summary

To determine and explore the iodized salt concentration provided in the local community, especially in the Phu Kut district whether it meets the standard or not. This district is located in a mountainous area which means that the local community confronts with geographical access due to the limited transportation and road condition, in addition, it is quite far from downtown approximately 26 kilometers and it is difficult to access the iodized salt consumption.

On the other hand, since 2013, the Lao People's Democratic Republic has implemented the iodized survey of urine among the primary students, this time could be the chance to compare based on the previous data, which will be an important source of the data for certifying the quality of iodized salt available in the local community that could be one cause of lacking iodized salt intake. Furthermore, the investigators could conduct the survey and monitor the current action plan related to iodized consumption in Laos as well, in order to eradicate diseases concerning with lacking iodized salt intake.
