A Procedure to Estimate the Accuracy and Reliability of HemoCue™ Measurements of Survey Workers
Susan Burger and June Pierre-Louis This publication was adapted from Chapter V of the Helen Keller International publication “How to Assess Iron Deficiency Anemia and Use the HemoCue™” by Drs. Susan Burger and June Pierre-Louis. It describes a standardization method to estimate the accuracy and reliability of field worker measurements of hemoglobin concentration using the HemoCue™. It is written for managers of programs and surveys that use or intend to use the HemoCue™ to collect hemoglobin measurements to determine the prevalence of anemia. The method described in the publication has been extensively field-tested by Helen Keller International and has been shown to improve the quality of capillary hemoglobin measurements, resulting in more accurate and reliable estimates of anemia prevalence.
