Anemia Toolkit
This paper presents the results of a three-group, double-blind, double-dummy, individually randomized, and placebo-controlled trial to assess the immediate and medium-term benefits on cognitive development and risks of three months of daily supplementation with iron syrup or iron-containing multiple micronutrient powders, as compared with placebo, in eight-month-old children in rural Bangladesh.
Anemia Toolkit
This paper presents the results of an open-label, individually randomized controlled trial of a single dose of a modern intravenous iron formulation, ferric carboxymaltose, for anaemia treatment in pregnant women in Malawi with a singleton pregnancy of 13–26 weeks' gestation in primary care and outpatient settings.
Anemia Toolkit
This paper presents the results of an analysis to quantify the factors affecting preanalytic (between venous-drawn and capillary-drawn blood measured by HemoCue) and analytic variation in hemoglobin concentrations in children, pregnant and nonpregnant women.
Anemia Toolkit
This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of published and gray literature examining the effects of double fortified salt on nutritional status, cognition, work productivity, development, and morbidity of all population groups
Anemia Toolkit
This paper reports the results of a 12 month cluster-randomized, effectiveness trial with multiple micronutrient powders among children aged 6–18 months and its impact on multiple micronutrient powders consumption and hemoglobin concentration in India.
Anemia Toolkit
This paper reports on the effect of iron supplementation on neural indices of habituation using auditory event-related brain potentials within a three-arm, double-blind, double-dummy, individual randomized trial in Bangladesh, in which 3,300 eight-month-old children were randomly selected to receive three months of daily iron syrup (12.5 mg iron), multiple micronutrient powders (including 12.5 mg iron), or placebo.
Anemia Toolkit
This study reports on the results of supplementation with iron or multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) on brain activity measures using resting electroencephalography within a three-arm, double-blind, double-dummy, individual randomized trial in Bangladesh, in which 3,300 eight-month-old children were randomly selected to receive three months of daily iron syrup (12.5 mg iron), MNPs (including 12.5 mg iron), or placebo.
USAID Nutrition Resource Hub
The Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) project developed the Farmer Nutrition School Session Guide to help community members and community groups to improve their technical understanding of vegetable, poultry, and fish farming, with the ultimate goal of increasing adoption of nutrition and hygiene practices for improved health. These flash cards were developed to accompany the guide and depict concepts that are difficult or dangerous to otherwise show during a training session.
Anemia Toolkit
At the population level, differences in mean hemoglobin and the distribution of hemoglobin values can result in inaccurate and unreliable estimates of anemia prevalence .
Anemia Toolkit
The USAID Advancing Nutrition Anemia Task force, a group of leading experts in anemia research and programming, has developed a report that addresses the complex "ecology" of anemia. We recommend an ecological approach to understand anemia, where we can utilize our knowledge of systems biology to suggest sensitive and specific assessment methodologies and interventions to improve clinical and public health outcomes.
