      abstract = {Iron deficiency is a common problem worldwide in both  developed and developing nations. Iron deficiency and the  anemia it can lead to have consequences in development,  health, and quality of life of individuals. Particular  groups of people are at increased risk for iron deficiency  and include those assigned female at birth due to menstrual  blood losses, pregnant individuals, children, adolescents,  athletes, and those who face food insecurity. In female  adolescent athletes specifically, the prevalence of iron  deficiency has been estimated to be up to 15-35%. The  aforementioned group deserves special attention due to the  intersection of multiple risk factors including age, female  sex, and increased physical activity. In this paper, the  importance of and potential approaches toward educating  adolescent female athletes on prevention and awareness of  iron deficiency will be discussed. },
