| Summary: | Anemia remains a public health problem in Rwanda, affecting 38% of young children and 17% of reproductive-aged women (Demographic and Health Survey [DHS] 2010).

We conducted a cluster randomized survey, selecting 408 rural households each in the Northern and Southern Provinces of Rwanda in 2010, to estimate the prevalence of ID and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among young children and women of reproductive age. |
