Investigating Determinants Impacting the Uptake of Iron/Folic Acid Supplementation among Antenatal Attendees at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital: A Prospective Analysis
This cross-sectional study aimed to identify and analyze the determinants affecting the utilization of Iron/Folic Acid Supplements (IFAS) among women attending antenatal care (ANC) at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital (HRRH) in Hoima City, Western Uganda. Conducted from February to March 2021, this regional hospital-based study employed convenience sampling to recruit 345 pregnant women receiving ANC services at HRRH. Questionnaire tools were utilized for data collection, ensuring accuracy and completeness. Data underwent coding and entry into Epi Info version 7, subsequently analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics summarized the variables, while frequencies and percentages were presented through figures and tables.
