Engaging rural communities in Bangladesh to address antimicrobial resistance via the community dialogue approach
Introduction: To effectively tackle antibiotic resistance (ABR) a One Health approach is required, focusing on the human, animal and environmental sectors together, and that public education and engagement programs must be part of the overall approach. However, there has been limited research on such programs in low-/middle-income countries (LMICs). Here we describe our plans to evaluate a community-engagement program, known as the community dial…
Antenatal care surveillance for monitoring malaria prevalence and intervention coverage
Estimates of malaria prevalence and intervention coverage in Africa are primarily based on nationally representative household (HH) surveys. However, the expense and infrequency limit the utility of HH surveys for operational action by malaria programmes. We assessed whether data collected during first antenatal care (ANC1) visits, consisting of data on malaria prevalence using rapid diagnostic tests, ownership of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) …
Informal health care providers in Nigerian slums
Informal healthcare providers (IHPs) play a crucial role in healthcare delivery in urban slums, but the lack of linkages between IHPs and the formal healthcare system results in fragmented, low-quality care. Integrating IHPs into the formal healthcare system poses challenges that are common across such settings. This study explores the perceptions of healthcare providers and consumers in Nigerian urban slums regarding linking IHPs to the formal h…
Engaging rural communities in Bangladesh to tackle antimicrobial resistance through the Community Dialogue Approach
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem and is especially threatening for low-and-middle income countries like Bangladesh. The COSTAR (Community-led Solutions to Antimicrobial Resistance) project includes a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Dialog Approach (CDA) to improve levels of correct and appropriate knowledge and reported practice about antibiotics, antibiotic u…
Antibiotic practices among household members and their domestic animals within rural communities in Cumilla district, Bangladesh
Our results highlight the need for context-adapted interventions at both the community level and the health systems level to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use among humans and domestic animals in rural Bangladesh. Successfully reducing inappropriate use of antibiotics among humans and animals is a required and critical step in tackling antimicrobial resistance
Was the Maternal Health Cash Transfer Programme in Nigeria Sustainable and Cost-Effective
Background: The Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), Maternal and Child Health (MCH) was introduced by the Nigerian government to increase the use of skilled maternal health services and reduce maternal mortality. The programme, funded out of a reduction in the fuel subsidy, was implemented between October 2012 and April 2015 and incorporated a conditional cash transfer to women to encourage use of facility based maternal serv…
Which mechanisms explain the motivation of primary health workers? Insights from the realist evaluation of a maternal and child health programme in Nigeria
INTRODUCTION: Well-trained, adequately skilled and motivated primary healthcare (PHC) workers are essential for attaining universal health coverage (UHC). While there is abundant literature on the drivers of workforce motivation, published knowledge on the mechanisms of motivation within different contexts is limited, particularly in resource-limited countries. This paper contributes to health workforce literature by reporting on how motivation w…
A process for developing a sustainable and scalable approach to community engagement
This study demonstrates the value of ensuring that a range of stakeholders co-produce the intervention, and ensuring that the intervention is designed to be appropriate for the health system, community and cultural context
Understanding demand for, and feasibility of, centre-based child-care for poor urban households
Sustainable provision of centre-based care that focuses on early childhood development requires subsidy and careful design sensitive to the working lives of poor families, particularly women and must respond to the dynamics of the urban environment and community values. We recommend increased research and policy focus on the evaluation and scale-up of quality centre-based child-care, emphasising early-childhood development, to support low-income …
Death is a better option than being treated like this”
Patients with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis are at high risk of depression, particularly those with co- and multi-morbidities. Screening for depression and psycho-social support should be integrated within routine TB services and provided throughout treatment
Addressing Unintentional Exclusion of Vulnerable and Mobile Households in Traditional Surveys in Kathmandu, Dhaka, and Hanoi
The methods used in low- and middle-income countries' (LMICs) household surveys have not changed in four decades; however, LMIC societies have changed substantially and now face unprecedented rates of urbanization and urbanization of poverty. This mismatch may result in unintentional exclusion of vulnerable and mobile urban populations. We compare three survey method innovations with standard survey methods in Kathmandu, Dhaka, and Hanoi and summ…
