Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control group having Hb.level 10-12g/dl and are given only counselling  Control group will be given education material and Hb. levels will be monitored with a drop of blood (finger prick) on a strip, using Arkrey’s Hemoglobin meter three times during the study i.e. at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th week. Dietary recall, symptoms score and anthropometric measurements will be taken twice during the study, i.e. at the end of 6th and 12th week. 
Intervention  Intervention group having Hb.level 10-12g/dl and given iron rich food supplement.  Iron rich food supplement will be provided on alternate days for 12 weeks. Hb. levels will be monitored with a drop of blood (finger prick) on a strip, using Arkrey’s Hemoglobin meter three times during the study i.e. at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th week. Dietary recall, symptoms score and anthropometric measurements will be taken twice during the study, i.e. at the end of 6th and 12th week.

Brief Summary  

          Iron deficiency anemia is a most common micronutrient disorder which affects negatively the health and the socioeconomic wellbeing of an individual. It is mainly associated with the poverty, limited access to appropriate healthcare and treatment and also lack of education regarding iron rich foods.Through this study we are going to determine the prevalence and determinants of IDA and to compare the improvement in Hb levels and work efficiency in control and experimental by giving them simple homemade iron rich food supplements using common ingredients.
