Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Identification of various points and person responsible for maintaining the pathway of single dose IV iron administration, validation of the Mentzer index as a surrogate indicator of serum ferritin for single-dose IV iron administration in resource-limited settings and identification of factors influencing the rise of hemoglobin after administration of a single dose of IV FCM. This will aid in the most efficient use of scarce resources.Timepoint: 9 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Individual, societal, contextual, and programmatic views on the acceptability and uptake of injectable iron preparations and programmatic readiness for injectable iron preparations.Timepoint: 3 months | — |
