Anemia Toolkit

This comprehensive narrative review describes and compares methods and analyzers used to measure hemoglobin in clinical laboratories and field settings, and the factors that influencing the measurement of hemoglobin.
Anemia Toolkit

The narrative review systematically reviews sources of hemoglobin variability and the potential biological basis for differences in hemoglobin concentration between venous and capillary blood samples.
Anemia Toolkit

This paper reexamines the associations between hemoglobin and altitude and/or smoking using 13 population-based surveys and 1 cohort study each conducted after 2000, to verify the recommended adjustments to hemoglobin concentration for altitude and/or smoking.
Anemia Toolkit

This paper uses published data of residents living at different altitudes to examine there are differences in the reference values for hemoglobin among different regions of the world and among ethnic groups within a region.
Anemia Toolkit

Important disparities exist in anemia diagnosis globally. This paper examine individuals' and populations' access to anemia diagnosis, the accuracy of diagnostic tests, and the interpretation of test results through the lens of key ethical considerations that include the human right to health and the Rawlsian concept of the social contract, as well as ethical principles, such as autonomy, self-liberty, beneficence, and nonmaleficence.
USAID Nutrition Resource Hub

The overall goal of these guidelines is to strengthen the contribution of agriculture interventions to improve household food and nutrition security in Uganda. The primary users of these guidelines are agriculture officers and their agents, as well as community development workers, all of whom have a critical role to play in guiding the enterprise selection process. The guidelines are primarily meant to guide farmers during the enterprise selection process to ensure that the selections address both income needs and nutrition requirements.
Anemia Toolkit

This secondary data analysis from 47 Demographic and Health Surveys explores potential associations between unimproved water and sanitation and anemia in women and children.
Anemia Toolkit

This narrative review describe the importance of measuring iron and other etiologic indicators to better understand the proportion of anemia that is responsive to interventions, taking into consideration the measurement of indicators of inflammation to interpret iron biomarkers, and assessing nonmodifiable genetic blood disorders associated with anemia.
Anemia Toolkit

This paper analyzes four population-based demographic and health surveys conducted in Bolivia between 1998 and 2016 to understand trends in anemia in children from 6 to 59 months of age by selected sociodemographic characteristics and three categories of altitude: low, medium, and high.
Anemia Toolkit

This study describes the spatial variation and attributable risk factors of anemia at the national level in Uganda among children aged 6–59 months, using data from the 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey.
