    This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Somali Regional State in Ethiopia. The purpose of the study was to compare haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations from venous and finger-pricked capillary blood using the HemoCue 301 as well as estimating anaemia prevalence. Participants were non-pregnant women of reproductive age (WRA), 18-49 years old (n = 884). Blood was collected by trained laboratory technologists using standard protocols. Venous bloo…
