Interventions to reduce anaemia linked to infectiousand chronic diseases: Insights from an evidence gapmap on low- and middle-income countries

Overview

This brief is based on Interventions to reduce anaemia in low- and middle-income countries: An evidence gap map, a 3ie evidence gap map report by Ashiqun Nabi, Diana Belén Córdova-Aráuz, Ingunn Storhaug, Maria Daniela Anda Leon, Lina Khan, Charlotte Lane, Daniel López de Romaña, Alison Mildon, Mandana Arabi, and Shannon Shisler. The authors identify, map, and describe the evidence base regarding interventions that address anaemia’s direct causes, intermediate and underlying risk factors, and impacts on health outcomes. The full report describes 2,022 completed IEs, 174 ongoing IEs, 57 SRs rated as high- or medium-confidence, and 15 SR protocols mapped on a framework of 46 intervention categories and 21 outcomes, spanning 105 low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs).
