Adolescent Nutrition and Anaemia course
Globally, adolescents―particularly girls―are greatly affected by malnutrition, partly due to their specific biological needs. However, they are often missed by health and nutrition interventions, as until recently they have not been viewed as a priority for health and nutrition.

The course
The Adolescent Nutrition and Anaemia course is made up of 15 modules covering a wide range of information from introductory to data to programming and engagement with and for adolescents.
A certificate of completion will be provided after completing all modules.
NEW! Narration transcripts now available in additional languages!
Learners around the world have been asking us to provide course content in additional languages to support their work in adolescent nutrition, and so we are translating the narration transcripts into eight new languages.
The additional language transcripts are currently available in Amharic, Bahasa, Bengali, French, Gujarati, Hindi, Swahili and Urdu.

But the global sector is now recognizing the importance of this time in a person’s growth and development. I’m proud to have contributed to this new course on Adolescent Nutrition and Anaemia."

"As a global leader in nutrition, Nutrition International takes a
'no missed opportunities' approach to ensure we are delivering the right nutrition at the right time.
For too long, adolescence has been a missed opportunity. This course brings new knowledge and evidence to the global health sector, paving the way
for critical advancements in adolescent nutrition.”
“Improving adolescent nutrition is key to ending malnutrition globally but a lack of data and understanding on adolescents’ specific needs has made it a low priority among health leaders. Recognizing this gap, Nutrition International’s world-renowned technical experts have built this course to deliver relevant and practical information for governments and organizations to deliver better, more-effective programs and interventions.”
