  • Spatially heterogeneous and neighborhood impacts of deep tubewells on childhood diarrhea in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessVarun Goel, Mark M Janko et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Deep tubewells that procure groundwater from deep arsenic-free aquifers are crucial sources of safe drinking-water in rural Bangladesh. However, their health benefits may be heterogeneous and context dependent: inequitable distribution, long collection distances and continued use of unsafe alternatives may increase microbial contamination and diarrheal disease. We examined whether the association between household deep tubewell use and under-five…

  • Feasibility and acceptability of bubble continuous positive airway pressure oxygen therapy for the treatment of childhood severe pneumonia and hypoxaemia in Bangladeshi children

    Open AccessMohammod Jobayer Chisti, Trevor Duke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: Effective management of hypoxaemia is key to reducing pneumonia deaths in children. In an intensive care setting within a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh, bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) oxygen therapy was beneficial in reducing deaths in this population. To inform a future trial, we investigated the feasibility of introducing bCPAP in this population in non-tertiary/district hospitals in Bangladesh. Methods: We con…

  • Early childhood malnutrition trajectory and lung function at preadolescence

Design: The current study is a part of the 9-year follow-up of a large-scale coho…

    In a rural area of Bangladesh IUD acceptors in the 2 years prior to the introduction of a family planning health services programme differed from the women who accepted IUDs following the initiation of the programme. The pre-programme acceptors were older, higher parity women who were using IUDs to terminate childbearing, in contrast to the post-programme acceptors who were younger, lower parity women who were using IUDs to space the next pregnan…

Only 40%…
