This project with Johns Hopkins University is to complete the last stage of testing for an innovative, field-friendly, cost-effective assessment method to detect vitamin a deficiency (VAD). The impacts of proving the validity of this device will have global implications through the ability to rapidly assess VAD in the field so as to monitor the impact of interventions and to target interventions to those most in need.
