    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    For sample selection, simple random sampling was used. A total of 960 women were enrolled into two study arms (Arms 1 and 2). From these, 240 women were randomized for dietary assessment, which was conducted through two 24-hour dietary recalls. The two recalls were conducted 2 to 4 weeks apart, once pregnancy was confirmed and prior to 12 weeks' gestation. Half of the women were randomized from Arm 1 and half from Arm 2, and the latter group's diet was assessed prior to commencing supplementation.
    Weighting

    No sample weights were used in this survey.
