Systematic review on adolescent anaemia in India
Dr. Rohan Shah is affiliated with the D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre and will be mentored by Professor Wafaie Fawzi, Richard Saltonstall Professor of Population Sciences, and Professor of Nutrition, Epidemiology, and Global Health, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Through the Narotam Sekhsaria Fellowship, Dr. Shah aims to synthesize existing evidence to inform future research and policy about how to improve current anaemia control programmes in India.
The project will focus on adolescent anaemia in India and other LMICs, employing a systematic review approach to evaluate iron supplementation programmes, identify key barriers and facilitators, and assess current intervention strategies. Research findings from this work will help address current evidence gaps in India to design and implement future projects to address adolescent anaemia and improve public health outcomes.
The Narotam Sekhsaria Fellowship at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health – India Research Center is a 2-year fellowship, supporting early-stage investigators (ESIs) in public health in India to work with and receive mentorship from faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health on a defined research project and gain experience conducting research in public health.
