Purpose: The PRAYAS Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis (IPD-MA) database aims to estimate the prevalence of anemia among children under 18 years, non-pregnant and non-lactating (NPNL) women, and pregnant women (by trimester), with further stratification by age group, year, and region of India. Beyond prevalence, it seeks to address the etiological contribution of iron and other erythropoietic micronutrient deficiencies and to evaluate the effe…
Benefit–cost analysis of an integrated package of interventions during preconception, pregnancy and early childhood in India
BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that an integrated intervention package delivered during preconception, pregnancy and early childhood substantially reduces low birth weight and stunting at 24 months of age compared with routine care. Now we conduct a benefit-cost analysis to estimate the return on investment of this integrated approach in India. This increases the policy relevance of trial results, given the low investment in healthcare in I…
Impact of nutritional and multiple micronutrients supplementation to lactating mothers 6 months postpartum on the maternal and infant micronutrient status
Objectives: To assess the impact of nutritional and multiple-micronutrient supplementation to lactating mothers on the micronutrient status of mother–infant dyad at 6 months of age postnatally. Design: This study was a trial that aimed to investigate the impact of maternal nutritional supplementation on infant growth. A secondary objective was to assess the effect on the micronutrient status of mother–infant pairs. The intervention group mothers …
Young women living in Iran
This paper investigates the social participation and wellbeing outcomes of young Iranian women, using a concurrent mixed method. Findings demonstrated relatively low levels of structural and functional social support as well as low level of social participation at the community level, particularly local and national group participation compared with casual/informal group participation. The individuals who socialized more with friends, relatives, …

Immunization practices in low birth weight infants from rural Haryana, India
BACKGROUND: Low birth weight (LBW) infants constitute a vulnerable subset of infants with impaired immunity in early life. In India, there is scarcity of studies that focus on immunization practices in such infants. This analysis aimed to examine immunization practices in LBW infants with the intention to identify areas requiring intervention. METHODS: Data on immunization status of LBW infants enrolled in an individually randomized, double-maske…
Low‐birthweight infants born to short‐stature mothers are at additional risk of stunting and poor growth velocity
Low-birthweight (LBW) infants are at an increased risk of stunting and poor linear growth. The risk might be additionally higher in these infants when born to short mothers. However, this hypothesis has been less explored. The objective of this secondary data analysis was to determine the risk of linear growth faltering and difference in linear growth velocity in LBW infants born to short mothers (<150 cm) compared to those born to mothers with h…
