We found 99 resource(s)
Documents included in this toolkit have been identified by members of the USAID Advancing Nutrition Anemia Task Force. The Anemia Task Force members are experts in fields of study related to various aspects of anemia - biology, its assessment, interventions to reduce its burden, and the enabling environment that influences anemia policies and programs. The included resources have been selected for their utility in understanding anemia and relevant to actions that can be taken to reduce it.
This toolkit will be updated on a rolling basis – for inquiries or suggestions for resources to add, please contact info@advancingnutrition.org.

The Role of Modelling to Inform Context-Specific Anaemia Programming
Journal Article published by Lancet Glob Health in
Using the example of a microsimulation study to estimate net benefits and cost-effectiveness of micronutrient powder programmes for young children, this paper proposes the use of modeling tools to evaluate benefits, risks, and costs of interventions, often in the absence of comprehensive information about all three.
