This attitude is due to low nutrition knowledge and it contributes to micronutrient deficiency such as anaemia.

Data on socio-demographics, dietary factors, dietary intake, knowledge of iron and anaemia will be collected at baseline and post-intervention. Blood samples will be collected for haemoglobin, ferritin and c-reactive protein analyses. The primary outcome measures include haemoglobin and ferritin levels, secondary outcomes such as dietary iron intake, dietary vitamin C intake and knowledge level of iron will be assessed at pre-and post-intervention (6 months). The study will comply with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for randomized trials.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The effectiveness of iron dietary guidelines developed will serve as a manual to aid, prevent and manage iron deficiency anaemia as well as reduce the prevalence of anaemia in the long term in Ghana.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060221074433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]],"date-time":"2022-05-26T12:19:15Z","timestamp":1653567555000},"page":"301-309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effectiveness of nutrition education and counselling programme on iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents: A study protocol of a randomized trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3756-3037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael Akenteng","family":"Wiafe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Kwame Nkrumah"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Apprey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reginald Adjetey","family":"Annan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02601060221074433","unstructured":"University of Ghana, GroundWork, University of Wisconsin-Madison, KEMRI-Wellcome Trust, UNICEF.
