Designing a School based Health Education Program to Prevent Nutritional Anaemia among the Adolescent Girls in a Rural School in Bangladesh

Abstract

Tarek Hossain M and Sharmin Khan Luies

In Bangladesh, the nutritional status of adolescents is reprehensible, where a large number of adolescent girls are suffering from malnutrition. Among others, anaemia is currently one of the most common and intractable nutritional problems that may develop at any stage of the life cycle but children, adolescent girls and women of reproductive age are high-risk groups for developing anaemia. Although the situation of anaemia among adolescents has improved over the past few years, the current magnitude of the problem in both urban and rural areas is clearly a significant public health concern for the country. Therefore, a specific health education program on nutritional anaemia will be beneficial to sensitize adolescent girls on related topics and also contribute to self-care and behavior change, therefore, improve their quality and value of life.
