Phytochemical Analysis and Biological Activities of Aegle marmelos Unripe Fruit
The feasibility of promoting recreational physical activity to manage type 2 diabetes in urban Bangladesh
Urbanisation has contributed to increased sedentary behaviour, which is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases. In South Asia, the type 2 diabetes burden is rapidly increasing, and there is a need to understand the effect of different social categories, such as gender, socio-economic status, and diabetes status, in shaping opportunities to participate in physical activity. We used a rapid participatory qualitative research methodology …
A cluster randomised controlled trial of community groups using Participatory Learning and Action to prevent and control diabetes and intermediate hyperglycaemia in rural Bangladesh
Community mobilisation through Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) has been shown to be effective for a range of health outcomes, including diabetes. Using a cluster randomised controlled trial we evaluated the impact of a PLA community mobilisation intervention for diabetes prevention and control when implemented in rural Bangladesh in 2021–2022 and adapted to the evolving context of the COVID-19 pandemic. 108 PLA groups held a minimum of 13…
The burden of common mental disorders and their association with diabetes in rural Bangladesh
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and common mental disorders (CMDs), including depression and anxiety, are significant public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, evidence on the distribution and associations between T2DM and CMDs in rural LMIC populations remains limited. We aimed to examine this relationship in a sample of adults from rural Bangladesh. Methods: In this cross-sectional …
How to evaluate a multi-country implementation-focused network
Learning about how to evaluate implementation-focused networks is important as they become more commonly used. This research evaluated the emergence, legitimacy and effectiveness of a multi-country Quality of Care Network (QCN) aiming to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) outcomes. We examined the QCN global level, national and local level interfaces in four case study countries. This paper presents the evaluation team’s reflection…
Stakeholder perceptions on scaling-up community-led interventions for prevention and control of non-communicable diseases in Bangladesh
Research highlighted the need for a preventative community engagement strategy to address NCDs, and the potential to utilise existing cadres to scale-up community-led interventions. It will be important to work with key stakeholders to address gender issues and ensure flexibility and responsiveness to community concerns. We indicate areas for further implementation research to develop scaled-up models of community-led interventions to address NCD…
Changes in non-communicable diseases, diet and exercise in a rural Bangladesh setting before and after the first wave of Covid-19
Prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is high in rural Bangladesh. Given the complex multi-directional relationships between NCDs, COVID-19 infections and control measures, exploring pandemic impacts in this context is important. We conducted two cross-sectional surveys of adults ≥30-years in rural Faridpur district, Bangladesh, in February to March 2020 (survey 1, pre-COVID-19), and January to March 2021 (survey 2, post-lockdown). A new…
Equity impact of participatory learning and action community mobilisation and mHealth interventions to prevent and control type 2 diabetes and intermediate hyperglycaemia in rural Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: A cluster randomised trial of mHealth and participatory learning and action (PLA) community mobilisation interventions showed that PLA significantly reduced the prevalence of intermediate hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the incidence of T2DM among adults in rural Bangladesh; mHealth improved knowledge but showed no effect on glycaemic outcomes. We explore the equity of intervention reach and impact. METHODS: Int…
Learning from a diabetes mHealth intervention in rural Bangladesh
There is an urgent need for population-based interventions to slow the growth of the diabetes epidemic in low-and middle-income countries. We tested the effectiveness of a population-based mHealth voice messaging intervention for T2DM prevention and control in rural Bangladesh through a cluster randomised controlled trial. mHealth improved knowledge and awareness about T2DM but there was no detectable effect on T2DM occurrence. We conducted mixed…
Care-seeking and managing diabetes in rural Bangladesh
ISRCTN41083256 . Registered on 30/03/2016
Developing a theory-driven contextually relevant mHealth intervention
In order to respond to the local needs of a community in Bangladesh, a process of formative research, drawing on behavioural theory helped in the development of awareness-raising and behaviour change mHealth messages through helping us to conceptualise and understand behaviour (for example by categorising behaviour into specific domains) and subsequently identify specific behavioural strategies to target the behaviour
Exploring the equity impact of a maternal and newborn health intervention
Participatory learning and action led to increased knowledge, confidence to act, and acceptability of recommended practices. The equitable behavioural effects were facilitated by the accessibility, relevance, and engaging format of the intervention across socioeconomic groups, and by reaching-out to parts of the population usually not accessed. A PLA approach improved health behaviours across socioeconomic strata in rural communities, around issu…
Socioeconomic inequalities in newborn care during facility and home deliveries
Socioeconomic inequalities in facility care greatly contribute to inequalities in newborn care. Improving newborn care during home deliveries and improving access to facility care are a priority for addressing inequalities in newborn care and newborn mortality
Growth and body composition of children aged 2–4 years after exposure to community mobilisation women’s groups in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Women's groups interventions in Bangladesh reduced neonatal deaths by 38% and improved hygienic delivery, newborn care practices and breast feeding. We explore the longer-term impact of exposure to women's groups during pregnancy on child growth at 2-4 years. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional survey of child anthropometric measures (analysed as z-scores) among children born to women who had participated in the women's groups int…
Reaching the poor with health interventions
BACKGROUND: Efforts to end preventable newborn deaths will fail if the poor are not reached with effective interventions. To understand what works to reach vulnerable groups, we describe and explain the uptake of a highly effective community-based newborn health intervention across social strata in Asia and Africa. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of seven randomised trials of participatory women's groups to reduce newborn mortality in …
Formative evaluation of a participatory women's group intervention to improve reproductive and women's health outcomes in rural Bangladesh
Participatory women's groups have considerable potential to improve women's health knowledge, but evidence of impact on certain outcomes is lacking. Further formative work and intervention development is needed to optimise the impact of this approach for women's health
The effect of participatory women's groups on infant feeding and child health knowledge, behaviour and outcomes in rural Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Despite efforts to reduce under-5 mortality rates worldwide, an estimated 6.6 million under-5 children die every year. Community mobilisation through participatory women's groups has been shown to improve maternal and newborn health in rural settings, but little is known about the potential of this approach to improve care and health in children after the newborn period. METHODS: Following on from a cluster-randomised controlled trial…
