In a multivariate analysis, only radio ownership was found to be
significantly associated with anaemia prevalence. These findings
underscore the importance of access to right and targeted
information, education and communication in the reduction of
anaemia. Radio transmission has been frequently used to educate
the public about various aspects of health, including the prevention
and control of anaemia, and is still by far the most dominant mass
medium in use in Africa42. The use of radios for health education
should be strengthened for better outcomes of anaemia programs.
