Introduction/Objective: In Asia, 42% of young children suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Children have an increased requirement for intake because growth and physical activity. Education plays important role in anemia prevention ensuring are aware appropriate the content different foods. As a tool this purpose, we adapted adult version Revised Iron Intake Scale (RIIS) to create Child Adolescent Version (CIIS), using illustrations help recognize foods listed CIIS. We aimed evaluate validity...
