This paper is the third in the ACC/SCN's State-of-the-Art series. Like the two previous papers, on nutrition education and control of vitamin A deficiency, it provides information to assist decisions on policies and programmes to prevent widespread nutritional problems. Iodine deficiency is one of these, affecting some 200 million people. Yet science and technology have provided most of the answers needed for effective programmes, especially for dealing with severe deficiency. The control methods are safe, low-cost, rely on locally available human and material resources, and are readily replicable. This document describes the problem and its prevention in terms that should help establish and expand control programmes.
