Anemia is a serious public health concern. There are several causes of anemia, one of which is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia can impair physical growth and cognitive development, cause decreased resistance to infections, and adversely impact school performance and work capacity. , Adolescent girls are particularly susceptible to iron deficiency anemia due to factors such as the hormonal changes and accelerated growth that take place during adolescence, malnutrition, and the onset of menstruation. In Southeast Asia, more than 25% of adolescent girls are reported to be anemic.1 In Cambodia, anemia is highly prevalent, affecting 45% of women of reproductive age. An evidence-based approach to preventing iron deficient anemia is weekly iron-folic acid supplementation.1,
