Brief Summary  

This proposed multistate implementation research study seeks to tackle the persistent issue of anemia in India by developing and applying a sustainable and scalable model for its prevention and treatment. The primary goal of the study is to design, optimize, and implement effective strategies aligned with the Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) 2.0 initiative, to reduce the prevalence of anemia among vulnerable populations to 20% or less and no severe anemia. The proposed implementation research (IR) will use a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) for model optimizationand interrupted time-series (ITS) measurements for the outcome evaluation.
