RANI

#theRANIproject participated in a virtual lunch & learn webinar at the Gates Foundation! We were thrilled to share #RANI's journey thus far & thank our partners, DCOR & @IPEGlobal for their incredible work in helping us achieve this milestone. #mahaRANImoments

thrilled to share our midline #eval results in a special theme issue published by the #worldhealthorganization on #sbcc

The #RANI project includes an #mHealth intervention (#mRANI) which aims to increase self-efficacy for iron supplement adherence for #anemia prevention and #bystander intervention. We are working towards #publishing a study protocol for #mRANI, stay tuned for more #updates!

According to the @thetimesofIndia, over 1/2 of women of reproductive age in #India are #anemic. 51% of #women in Odisha have anemia; the #RANI study is focused within the #Angul district of #Odisha, where 44.5% of the #population is anemic.

#Cognitivemaps & card sorting found that #fatigue was characterized differently from other medical treatment-related items; additionally, #perceptions around fatigue’s importance to health were low. Women from focus groups reported that fatigue was a part of their #daily life.

The #study results conclude by stating that #fatigue is currently not an adequate cue to seek treatment for anemia; this could possibly be due to the normalization of fatigue as a part of women’s daily life.

Participants of the #perceptualmapping & #cardsorting compared #images of anemia-related items and concepts, while participants in group discussions were asked about their daily life, #aspirations & concerns among women, perceptions of #anemia, & community #iron supplementation.

#theRANIproject members, including #HagereYilma, recently authored a paper that investigated the relationship between fatigue, the main symptom of anemia, and whether it cues women and others to obtain iron-folic acid supplements! Check it out below! bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjope…

The #RANI project aims to improve the health and wellbeing of Indian women by lowering their rates of anemia & increasing the uptake of iron supplements. Check out our current publications and presentations by clicking the link below! rani.gwu.edu/publications
