A pre-post pilot study with and without subsidy to promote improved backyard poultry-raising practices to reduce exposure to poultry and poultry feces in rural Bangladesh
Backyard poultry raising is common in rural Bangladesh and many households keep their poultry inside their houses at night. Compared to keeping poultry outside in sheds at night, this practice likely elevates children’s exposure to poultry and poultry feces and associated enteric pathogens. We conducted a two-arm (subsidy and non-subsidy) pre-post pilot study. Households in both arms received the behavior change communication and counseling inter…
Great strides, yet a long way to go
BACKGROUND: Bangladesh faces substantial inequalities in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), with disparities across sociodemographic groups and between urban and rural populations. Evidence on temporal changes in household WASH access and its determinants remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To assess changes in household WASH and examine the influence of sociodemographic factors on access, using data from two national hygiene surveys at national and …
Ethical Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Digital Transformation
AI technology is becoming integral to digital transformation, but ethical and societal implications continue to play a key role in sustainable governance. Topics like bias, transparency, privacy, trust, and AI-induced harm form an important part of responsible digital transformation. The study examined the relationship between ethical artificial intelligence and sustainable digital transformation from social and policy perspectives. A quantitativ…
Evaluation of a multicomponent child development intervention delivered through the government health system
INTRODUCTION: Small efficacy trials have demonstrated that multicomponent interventions can improve early child development. We evaluated the large-scale delivery of a multicomponent intervention delivered by government health workers throughout a rural subdistrict in northwestern Bangladesh. METHODS: We evaluated a group-based, multicomponent intervention with a curriculum covering responsive parenting, caregivers' mental health, lead exposure p…
Knowledge, attitude, and practices related to lead pollution among adolescents and caregivers of young children living near Used Lead Acid Battery (Ulab) recycling sites in Bangladesh
The population had a high potential for lead exposure. Their knowledge about lead was limited, and risk perception was moderate. To reduce lead exposure and increase knowledge and awareness among the at-risk population, it is crucial to take measures such as mass awareness campaigns through media and schools. It is important to strengthen the implementation of existing policies, such as policies on leaded gasoline, paints, and lead-acid batteries…
An Uninformed Decision-Making Process for Cesarean Section
The decision-making process and the information flow from physicians to patients regarding deliveries through cesarean section (C-section) has not been adequately explored in Bangladeshi context. Here, we aimed to explore the extent of information received by mothers and their family members and their involvement in the decision-making process. We conducted a qualitative exploratory study in four urban slums of Dhaka city among purposively select…
A holistic approach to promoting early child development
INTRODUCTION: In low- and middle-income countries, children experience multiple risks for delayed development. We evaluated a multicomponent, group-based early child development intervention including behavioural recommendations on responsive stimulation, nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, mental health and lead exposure prevention. METHODS: We conducted a 9-month, parallel, multiarm, cluster-randomised controlled trial in 31 rural villages i…
Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on caregiver mental health and the child caregiving environment in a low-resource, rural context
Early child development has been influenced directly and indirectly by the COVID-19 pandemic, and these effects are exacerbated in contexts of poverty. This study estimates effects of the pandemic and subsequent population lockdowns on mental health, caregiving practices, and freedom of movement among female caregivers of children 6–27 months (50% female), in rural Bangladesh. A cohort (N = 517) was assessed before and during the pandemic (May–Ju…
Success Factors for Community Health Workers in Implementing an Integrated Group-Based Child Development Intervention in Rural Bangladesh
Community Health Workers (CHWs) can effectively implement maternal and child health interventions, but there is paucity of evidence on how to integrate child stimulation into these interventions, and their delivery at scale. In rural Bangladesh, CHWs implemented an intervention integrating psychosocial stimulation, nutrition, maternal mental health, water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and lead exposure prevention. In each of 16 intervention village…
Formative Research to Design a Child-Friendly Latrine in Bangladesh
In low- and middle-income countries, most latrines are not accessible to young children. We explored how to modify existing pit latrines to make them child friendly. We conducted four focus group discussions with mothers to explore barriers to child latrine use. We then enrolled 20 households with a child aged 3-7 years old to test six enabling technologies developed based on the identified barriers. Two to three weeks after installing the select…
Adaptation and Integration of Psychosocial Stimulation, Maternal Mental Health and Nutritional Interventions for Pregnant and Lactating Women in Rural Bangladesh
Supporting caregivers' mental wellbeing and ability to provide psychosocial stimulation may promote early childhood development. This paper describes the systematic approach of developing an integrated stimulation intervention, identifying the feasibility and challenges faced throughout the period. We developed an integrated curriculum by culturally adapting three interventions (Reach Up, Thinking Healthy, and general nutrition advice) and pilote…
