Evaluation of the effectiveness of stainless steel cooking pots in reducing iron-deficiency anaemia in food aid-dependent populations
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of stainless steel (Fe alloy) cooking pots in reducing Fe-deficiency anaemia in food aid-dependent populations. Design Repeated cross-sectional surveys. Between December 2001 and January 2003, three surveys among children aged 6–59 months and their mothers were conducted in 110 households randomly selected from each camp. The primary outcomes were changes in Hb concentration and Fe status. Setting Two long-…
Acceptability and use of iron and iron-alloy cooking pots
Objective To evaluate the acceptability of iron and iron-alloy cooking pots prior to an intervention trial and to investigate factors affecting retention and use. Design Pre-trial research was conducted on five types of iron and iron-alloy pots using focus group discussions and a laboratory evaluation of Fe transfer during cooking was undertaken. Usage and retention during the subsequent intervention trial were investigated using focus group disc…
Anaemia, iron status and vitamin A deficiency among adolescent refugees in Kenya and Nepal
Objective To investigate the prevalence of anaemia (haemoglobin −1 depending on age and sex group), iron deficiency (transferrin receptor concentration > 8.3 μg ml −1 ) and vitamin A deficiency (serum retinol −1 ) in adolescent refugees. Design Cross-sectional surveys. Setting Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya and seven refugee camps in Nepal. Subjects Adolescent refugee residents in these camps. Results Anaemia was present in 46% (95% confidence inte…
A Case Study of Somali Refugees in Hartisheik A Camp, Eastern Ethiopia
During the first nine months of an international assistance programme, there was a major deterioration in the nutritional status of approximately 170,000 Somali refugees in the eastern Ethiopian camp of Hartisheik A. The acute malnutrition prevalence rate among children less than 5 years of age increased from 15% in September 1988 (three months after the refugees' arrival) to 26% in March 1989. This increase in malnutrition prevalence was associa…
