The clinics were randomised to one of three treatment groups: (i) selective anaemia screening of high-risk women as recommended currently (control); (ii) universal anaemia screening and treatment of anaemic women (group I); and (iii) universal Fe supplementation of 65 mg\/d for two months to all low-income women (group II). All study participants within each clinic received the same treatment. Women were followed up at 6 months after delivery. Hb was measured at baseline and at follow-up. The primary outcome variable was the proportion of women with anaemia after treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Setting<\/jats:title>Eleven health clinics in Mississippi.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Subjects<\/jats:title>Low-income, postpartum women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Baseline characteristics of the three study groups were compared using one-way ANOVA and an appropriate post hoc<\/jats:italic> test for continuous variables and the \u03c7<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup> test for categorical variables.
