Measuring feasibility: Complex questions need complex tools
We sought to assess the feasibility of mainstreaming balanced energy protein supplementation, a maternal nutrition intervention, into Bangladesh’s routine antenatal care system in tandem with an ongoing effectiveness trial in northwestern Bangladesh. Feasibility is an implementation science outcome defined as the extent to which a new intervention can be implemented successfully in a given context. We found feasibility difficult to measure using …
Developing cadres of gender specialists in global public health to meet increasing demand
Gender is increasingly prioritized in global health and embedded across the Sustainable Development Goals. This shift has created a demand for gender specialists with skills to integrate gender into research and programs. Most global health professionals lack formal training in gender analysis or integration. Gender is often misunderstood-conflated with sex, focused only on women, or limited to maternal health. Training can equip professionals to…
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…
Assessing implementation outcomes for launching balanced energy protein supplementation: A formative study in rural Bangladesh
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…
