dc.description.abstractObjectives: According to Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2011, the prevalence of anemia among children age 6-59 months and women of reproductive age is 44.2% and 16.6% respectively. The 2014 Ethiopia National Micronutrient Survey will provide national and regional estimates of the prevalence of anemia among children 6-59 months’ old and non-pregnant women 15-49 years of age in Ethiopia. Methods: The ENMS is a cross-sectional household survey designed to produce national and regionally representative estimates of anemia. The prevalence of anemia will be determined from hemoglobin levels in venous blood samples using a Hemocue® photometer. Anemia will be defined by a hemoglobin <11.0 and <12.0 g/dL for children 6-59 months of age and non-pregnant women, respectively. Hemoglobin values will be adjusted for altitude and smoking status. Results: The national and regional prevalence of anemia will be presented for children 6-59 months old and non-pregnant women 15-49 years of age. Conclusions: This survey will provide national and regional data for anemia control and fortification programs in Ethiopia.en_US
