  1. aUFe60F = invitation to prenatal food supplementation at usual time in pregnancy (at about week 20) and 60 mg iron 400 μgm folic acid. EMMS = early invitation to prenatal food supplement (at about 9 week gestation) plus multiple micronutrients (MMS); Cost per pregnant woman per day for food US$0.6926, US$0.6048, and US$0.7869 for NGO run CNCs, government run CNCs and a hypothetical highest cost scenario, MMS US$0.017272, iron-folic acid US$0.0057574. Sources for IM rates reference number 15, and adherence to the intervention reference number 16
  2. bcost of supplementing 1000 pregnant women with UFe60F for NGO run CNCs, government run CNCs, and for a hypothetical highest cost scenario were, US$42,207 [(0.6926*60*1000) + (0.005757*113)*1000)], US$36,939 [(0.6048*60*1000) + (0.005757*113)*1000)], and US$47,865 [(0.7869*60*1000) + (0.005757*113)*1000)], respectively
