Description
Suryansh Kataria and co-authors grade a charity's iron pill program for Indian schoolgirls. Anemia stalks adolescent girls in India, draining energy and learning. A grassroots group paired weekly iron and folic acid pills with a one time deworming dose, riding on the national campaign. Girls from seven to nineteen took part for three months.
Of those checked twice, over two thirds began anemic. Average blood hemoglobin rose by a clear margin after the course, and the anemic share fell. About a third of starters were lost to follow up. The authors credit peer networks for keeping girls enrolled and urge wider roll out.
