Managing the vitamin A program portfolio: A case study of Zambia, 2013–2042 por Fiedler, John L., Lividini, Keith

“…Programs to address micronutrient deficiencies have been increasing in number, type, and scale in recent years, creating an ever-growing need to understand their combined coverage levels, costs, and impacts so as to more effectively combat deficiencies, avoid putting individuals at risk for excess intakes, and ensure the efficient use of public health resources.To analyze combinations of the two current programs—sugar fortification and Child Health Week (CHW)—together with four prospective programs—vegetable oil fortification, wheat flour fortification, maize meal fortification, and biofortified vitamin A maize—to identify Zambia's optimal vitamin A portfolio.Combining program cost estimates and 30-year Zambian food demand projections, together with the Zambian 2005 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey, the annual costs, coverage, impact, and cost-effectiveness of 62 Zambian portfolios were modeled for the period from 2013 to 2042.Optimal portfolios are identified for each of five alternative criteria: average cost-effectiveness, incremental cost-effectiveness, coverage maximization, health impact maximization, and affordability. …”
