Policy decisions based on research findings are rooted in ground reality, and therefore have the capacity to bring about tangible improvement in the situation, whether it is with regard to nutritional status, health practices, income generation, domestic violence or rights of women and children. Research on social issues in India is conducted by a plethora of organizations, namely research institutes, government ministries and departments, autonomous organizations, home science colleges, social work departments, university departments, medical colleges, international and voluntary organizations. As research is a vital input for development, planners, administrators and researchers are on the look out for social factors which have the potential to impact the outcomes of various programmes. With this aim in view, the Documentation Centre for Women and Children (DCWC) of NIPCCD is engaged in the process of collecting and documenting valuable research in the areas of women and children. DCWC collects research from many widely scattered sources for the convenience of users. Hence this project was undertaken to bring out compilations of research abstracts on various areas for the benefit of users. “Research Abstracts on Health, 1998-2008” has been compiled to present widely scattered research in a compact form, and assist in making encapsulated information and recommendations of research available to planners, programme implementers and researchers. Research studies conducted by various organizations during the period 1998 to 2008 have been summarized on various subjects such as teenage pregnancy, anaemia/ iron deficiency, child health, nutritional status/ child nutrition, child morbidity, etc. It is hoped that this document would be of immense use to all stakeholders working for the survival, development and empowerment of women and children. It would not have been possible to bring out this document without the cooperation of various organizations who have very kindly shared their research studies with NIPCCD. I wish to place on record my appreciation of the efforts put by the staff of DCWC specially Smt. Meenakshi Sood, Deputy Director and Dr. Dinesh Paul, Additional Director (TC) for overall guidance and support in completion of the project. (A.K.
