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.

Maternal Hemoglobin Concentrations Across Pregnancy and Maternal and Child Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the associations of maternal hemoglobin concentrations with birth outcomes (low birth weight, preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age, stillbirth, and perinatal and neonatal mortality) and adverse maternal outcomes (postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and blood transfusion). It accounts for the…
