Bihar. Each of these studies was based on populations in the state of Bihar, India. The first study, examining IFA receipt and consumption determinants, included a statewide sample of pregnant women, consisting of women from all 37 districts. These data came from the District Level Household Survey, Round 3 (2007-08)20. For the second study examining IFA supply, data collection took place during 2011-12. The 8 districts selected for investigation were the focus districts of CARE India’s Integrated Family Health Initiative. The districts were Begusarai, Gopalganj, Khagaria, Paschim Champaran, Patna, Purba Champaran, Saharsa, and Samastipur (Figure 3.2). This allowed for collaboration with CARE personnel to coordinate meetings with health workers at the district level. In addition, CARE block coordinators were available for assistance in coordinating with block officials and recruiting health workers from the health sub-center and village levels. By selecting these 8 sites, adequate variation in terms of distance from the capital city of Patna was obtained. From data obtained through qualitative research in these 8 districts, we chose 2 to conduct additional research on community and health worker perceptions of anemia and IFA (see Chapter 6). The districts of interest in this qualitative project were selected based on several factors: availability of IFA in the district, distance from the capital of Bihar (Patna), and consideration of antenatal care attendance and IFA receipt among pregnant women.

Bihar. As one of the largest and poorest states with over 100 million people, Bihar has one of the highest rates of maternal, neonatal and infant mortality (Xxxxxxx, 2011). Undernutrition is a key challenge in Bihar, with approximately 50% of children under the age of 3 years suffering from malnutrition (Xxxxxxx, 2011). Bihar remains as one of the states with the highest rates of child malnutrition despite efforts. CARE programming attempts to tackle these rates of malnutrition in Bihar by strengthening overall Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices, however there is still room for improvement. Unlike the national data, Bihar has worsened since NFHS-2, wasted children increased from 25% to 33% and children who were underweight increased from 52% to 55% (IIPS, 2007). Figure 1.3 presents the initial breastfeeding practices in Bihar India from the NFHS-3 for last-born children in the five years preceding the survey (IIPS, 2007). With over 94% ever breastfeeding only 3% initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth (IIPS, 2007). It has been noted that poor breastfeeding practices alone lead to 800,000 child deaths each year in Bihar, which accounts for almost 12% of all child deaths in the state (Aga Khan, 2015).
