Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the smallest dose of Sprinkles a single-serving package of iron and other micronutrients to treat infants with iron deficiency anemia in India Results have implications for programs using Sprinkles worldwide because lower doses of iron may have fewer side effects
Detailed Description:
Iron deficiency anemia affects two thirds of children in most developing nations and even mild anemia can have serious implications for child development In India government programs within India have been ineffective in controlling this public health problem due to the lack of effective iron supplements reaching children
Our research group developed Sprinkles an inexpensive micronutrient supplement which is a single-serve sachet of tasteless powder that contain encapsulated iron and other micronutrients Parents can be easily instructed to mix the contents of one sachet into a bowl of any complementary food
This study is part of a partnership and capacity development between interdisciplinary research groups at The Hospital for Sick Children University of Toronto Canada and the King Edward Memorial Hospital in India aimed at developing a long-term program of research that will address iron deficiency anemia among infants and young children in India For Sprinkles to be implemented into national programs in India a comprehensive strategy is needed which includes a single safe and effective iron dose for the Indian population
This specific study is to conduct a community-based randomized clinical trial in India to determine the appropriate dose of supplementation required for the target age group
