Our primary objective was to measure the effect of an ECD-focused parenting and nutrition education on children's through home visits using a social safety net platform Bangladesh.
The accuracy of haemoglobin concentration measurements is crucial for deriving global anaemia prevalence estimates and monitoring reduction strategies. In this analysis, we examined quantified the factors affecting preanalytic analytic variation in concentrations. Using cross-sectional data from three field studies (in children, pregnant nonpregnant women), difference between venous-drawn capillary-drawn blood measured by HemoCue (ie, preanalytic) modelled how bias observed may affect...
