Untargeted and targeted fortified balanced energy-protein (BEP) dietary supplementation during pregnancy and birth outcomes
Antenatal balanced energy-protein (BEP) dietary supplementation is a WHO recommendation in undernourished settings, but limited evidence exists on targeting individuals based on nutritional status. We assessed the impact of untargeted and targeted fortified BEP supplementation during pregnancy on birth outcomes, compared with multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) as control. In a four-arm, cluster-randomised controlled trial pregnant women rec…
The influence of nutritional status, the home environment, and schooling on behavioral outcomes of hyperactivity and inattention among grade-school children in rural Nepal
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is characterized by frequent inattention and/or hyperactivity that can affect child development, including learning, social adaptation, and mental health. Despite the impact of these behaviors, data on the prevalence and risk factors of child behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders in low- and middle-income countries are limited. This paper aims to identify maternal, child and enviro…
Gender equity and Covid-19 vaccine policies for pregnant people
Gender inequity was associated with greater odds of a restrictive policy for use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy, suggesting that gender biases may influence fair policymaking for pregnant people in pandemic preparedness and response
A formative study of the sociocultural influences on dietary behaviours during pregnancy in rural Bangladesh
Balanced energy protein supplementation (BEP) is recommended for contexts of high maternal undernutrition by the World Health Organization. Despite recent improvements in undernutrition, Bangladesh remains a context where BEP could help accelerate progress towards nutrition goals. In preparation for an effective trial testing a fortified BEP, a qualitative study was undertaken to better understand sociocultural factors influencing dietary behavio…
A qualitative inquiry in understanding trusted media sources to reduce vaccine hesitancy among Kenyans
COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Kenya has been challenged by both the supply of and demand for vaccines. With a third of the adult population classifying as vaccine hesitant, reaching vaccination targets requires an understanding of how people make decisions regarding vaccines. Globally, pregnant and lactating women have especially low uptake rates, which could be attributed to the “infodemic,” or constant rush of new information, as this group is vu…
Assessing implementation outcomes for launching balanced energy protein supplementation
Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation is an efficacious intervention in pregnancy for improving birthweight and is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) in countries with high maternal undernutrition. Few countries have implemented BEP programmes due in part to high cost, lack of data on acceptability and feasibility, and complexity of delivery. We sought to address implementation gaps in BEP interventions through a formative stu…
Acceptability of a balanced energy protein (BEP) supplement for pregnant women in Bangladesh
Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation in pregnancy is recommended in the context of undernutrition for the reduction of small-for-gestational age neonates and stillbirths. To inform an effectiveness trial, we evaluated the acceptability of a packaged, ready-to-eat fortified BEP product among women of reproductive age and their health care providers (HCPs) in rural Bangladesh and explored the feasibility of adhering to daily supplementatio…
Global disparities in public health guidance for the use of Covid-19 vaccines in pregnancy
INTRODUCTION: Gaps in information about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy have led to substantial global variation in public health guidance regarding the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy over the course of the pandemic. METHODS: We conducted systematic screenings of public health authorities' websites across 224 countries and territories every 3 weeks to track the development of policies on COVID-19 vaccine use in pr…
Conceptualizing the Covid-19 Pandemic
Pregnant women are at greater risk of adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection. There are several factors which can influence the ways in which pregnant women perceive COVID-19 disease and behaviorally respond to the pandemic. This study seeks to understand how three key audiences-pregnant and lactating women (PLW), male community members, and health workers-in Kenya conceptualize COVID-19 to better understand determinants of COVID-19 related b…
