Sociodemographic trends associated with caesarean delivery in rural subdistricts of Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: Although an appropriate population range for caesarean section (CS) has been debated, the WHO recommends national CS rates be between 10% and 15%. Yet rates are much higher in many low-income and middle-income countries, including Bangladesh. These studies also reveal wide disparities in CS use by geographic location and sociodemographic conditions. Nevertheless, few studies have the sample size and temporal precision necessary to m…
‘We knew a cyclone was imminent’
Adapting to Adversity
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…
Hallways to learning
Over the last two decades, two contradictory processes have been notable within the development of Higher Education. The marketisation of the sector has advanced steadily at the same time as professed policies of widening participation, and this has left universities stuck between a rock and a hard place. The datafication of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies has rendered invisible the minoritised experience in HE, and the needs of …
Determinants of Double Burden of Malnutrition Among School Children and Adolescents in Urban Dhaka
Background: Bangladesh faces a double burden of malnutrition, with a rising prevalence of overweight and obesity among children parallel to existing undernutrition. Objective: The current study was designed to assess the determinants of double burden of malnutrition among urban school children from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,690 students from 14 schools in Dhaka city from January to June 2018. Anthr…
Assessment of household-level adaptation strategies to water stress in southwestern coastal Bangladesh
Despite the growing emphasis and global initiatives to ensure safe drinking water and sanitation for all (Sustainable Development Goal 6), households in coastal areas are at risk of growing water stress across the globe. However, little is known about households' adaptation strategies to water stress in coastal areas. This study explores the determinants and impacts of adaptation strategies to household-level water stress (both drinking and non-d…
Comparison of a palm-based biometric solution with a name-based identification system in rural Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: Unique identifiers are not universal in low- and middle-income countries. Biometric solutions have the potential to augment existing name-based searches used for identification in these settings. This paper describes a comparison of the searching accuracy of a palm-based biometric solution with a name-based database. OBJECTIVE: To compare the identification of individuals between a palm-based biometric solution to a name-based Distric…
Environmental non-migration as adaptation in hazard-prone areas
Anxiety and Insomnia Among Urban Slum Dwellers in Bangladesh
Background: Although mental health is an important part of health and wellbeing, very little is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of marginalized communities like urban slum dwellers. Our study estimated the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia among the residents of the informal settlements of Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional phone-based survey was c…

How much salt do adults consume in climate vulnerable coastal Bangladesh
It is important to create awareness about the implication of excessive salt intake on health and to develop strategies for reducing salt intake that can be implemented at the community-level. A sustainable policy for salt reduction in the Bangladeshi diet should be formulated with special emphasis on coastal areas
Causes of neonatal and maternal deaths in Dhaka slums
Delivery at a health facility with child assessment within a day of delivery and appropriate treatment could reduce neonatal deaths. Maternal mortality is unlikely to reduce without delivering at facilities with basic Emergency Obstetric Care (EOC) and arrangements for timely referral to EOC. There is a need for a comprehensive package of services that includes control of infectious diseases during pregnancy, EOC and adequate after delivery care
