Periconceptual

•Definition: Coverage and effectiveness of Family Planning interventions are specified in the FamPlan module.

•Definition: Percent of women 15-49 that have appropriate food fortification (0.4 mg folic acid per day) around the time of pregnancy.

•Default data source: Coverage data for this indicator are calculated from the Food Fortification Initiative. Using fortification standard and daily food intake, we estimate the daily potential folic acid contribution from fortification. Any contribution beyond 100% is capped. To estimate the overall folic acid fortification coverage, we also adjust for quality and compliance using percent of food industrially processed and percent of food fortified. For more detail see the paper.

•Notes: This is not the same indicator as iron/folate supplementation during pregnancy.

•Definition: Percent of women 15-49 that have appropriate food fortification (18 mg iron per day) around the time of pregnancy.

•Default data source: Coverage data for this indicator are calculated from the Food Fortification Initiative. Using fortification standard and daily food intake, we estimate the daily potential iron contribution from fortification. Any contribution beyond 100% is capped. To estimate the overall iron fortification coverage, we also adjust for quality and compliance using percent of food industrially processed and percent of food fortified. For more detail see the paper.

•Notes: This is not the same indicator as iron supplementation during pregnancy.

The effect size used by default in LiST is for daily iron supplementation among women of reproductive age. If the user wishes to model fortification of staple foods with iron instead, the recommended effect size is 0.36 (effect of iron fortification on anemia, studies from low- and middle-income countries only, from Das et al. 2013).

•Definition: Among women who get an abortion, the percent who get a safe abortion (defined as via D&C, vacuum aspiration, or medical abortion).

•Definition: Percent of women who have had an abortion who get the appropriate post-abortion case management at a Basic Emergency Obstetric Care (BEmOC) level.

•Default data source: Coverage data for this indicator are not typically available. Currently set at 0 for baseline; user should enter local data if possible and available.
