Brief Summary

The AnemEE study is a population-based anemia etiology survey in six regions of Ethiopia. The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the relative contribution of risk factors for anemia among children, women of reproductive age, and adult men. The study data are intended to inform evidence-based decision-making on anemia control interventions.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Anemia

  Hemoglobin concentration by sex and age (\<11 g/dL for children; Hb \<12 g/dL for non-pregnant adult women, \<13 g/dL for adult men). Hemoglobin concentrations will be adjusted for altitude and smoking status.
