Anemia status and associated factors among adolescent girls under weekly iron and folic acid supplementation (WIFAS) and non-WIFAS programs in public schools in Janamora district, Northwest Ethiopia 2023; a comparative cross-sectional study

Anemia was less prevalent in the WIFAS school Programme than in the non-WIFAS school Programme. This indicates that the WIFAS has an important function in improving anemic status. As a result, it is recommended that the WIFAS program be extended to more schools. The WIFAS program is more effective when health education is delivered concurrently with it.

Abstract

Anemia was less prevalent in the WIFAS school Programme than in the non-WIFAS school Programme. This indicates that the WIFAS has an important function in improving anemic status. As a result, it is recommended that the WIFAS program be extended to more schools. The WIFAS program is more effective when health education is delivered concurrently with it.
