Zusammenfassung:Anemia is an important public health problem, and accurate estimates may inform policy and programs. Although hemoglobin (Hb) assessment of venous blood via automated hematology analyzers (AHAs) is recommended, most population-based surveys estimate anemia prevalence based on analysis of capillary blood via portable hemoglobinometers. We aimed to evaluate screening methods for hemoglobin and anemia assessment using paired venous samples. Participants were women 15-40 y who were not pregnant or lactating. Paired venous whole blood samples (n = 896) were analyzed for hemoglobin (Hb) via portable hemoglobinometer (HemoCue 301) and Coulter Counter AHA. Anemia and severe anemia were defined as Hb
