The Effects of Podcasting on Exam Preparation and Academic Performance
The swift integration of technology in education, propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, has resulted in inventive methods of learning. Podcasting has become a valuable tool for enriching students' learning experiences. This study investigates the role of podcasting in exam preparation and its impact on academic performance among college students in Delhi NCR. This study investigates the influence of podcasting on the exam preparation and academic p…
A model to combine qualitative and quantitative measures in education for better assessment of learning outcomes
In recent years, the system of student learning and academic emotions has been taken seriously to re-engineer the teaching-learning process at all levels of education. This research paper considers both aspects of assessing the translation of knowledge i.e. qualitative and quantitative. In the current scenario, quantitative and qualitative learning outcome measurements are utilized separately without any associativity, which has been recognized a…
Impact of Suaahara , an integrated nutrition programme, on maternal and child nutrition at scale in Nepal
Suaahara was an innovative, complex, multi-sectoral, large-scale, nutrition programme in Nepal to increase exposure to nutrition-related information and services, improve nutrition-related knowledge and practices among pregnant women and mothers of infants and young children, and improve their nutrition. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Suaahara to improve nutrition and nutrition-related practices by comparing changes over 10 years betwe…
The costs of Suaahara II, a complex scaled‐up multisectoral nutrition programme in Nepal
Limited evidence exists on the costs of scaled-up multisectoral nutrition programmes. Such evidence is crucial to assess intervention value and affordability. Evidence is also lacking on the opportunity costs of implementers and participants engaging in community-level interventions. We help to fill this gap by estimating the full financial and economic costs of the United States Agency for International Development-funded Suaahara II (SII) progr…
Text messages to improve young child diets
The objective of this study was to test whether adding a text message campaign about the importance of eating eggs and other nutrition-related behaviours to an on-going package of large-scale, diverse social and behaviour change interventions would improve four types of nutrition-related knowledge and behaviour outcomes: child diets (egg consumption as the primary outcome), maternal diets, maternal nutrition knowledge, and maternal participation …
Text messages to improve child diets
Given the role of malnutrition in childhood morbidity and mortality, the prioritisation of maternal and child nutrition programmes has grown significantly in the 21st century. Policies and programmes aim to improve infant and young child feeding, but questions persist about the most effective combination of interventions to achieve desired behaviour change. There is increasing interest in mobile-based interventions globally, but scant evidence ex…
Maternal Decision-Making Input and Health-Seeking Behaviors Between Pregnancy and the Child’s Second Birthday
Our findings indicated that empowering women and mothers in household decision-making might warrant greater attention when developing future policies and programs in Nepal
Improving maternal, infant and young child nutrition in Nepal via peer mobilization
Objective To evaluate the impact of a peer facilitator (PF) approach for improving mothers’ knowledge and practices relating to maternal and child nutrition. Design A quasi-experimental design nested within a large-scale integrated nutrition programme, Suaahara , in Nepal. Suaahara interventions were implemented in all study sites, but peer facilitators were used in only half of the study sites. Setting Rural, disadvantaged villages in three dist…
Designing programs to improve diets for maternal and child health
Improving maternal and child nutrition in resource-poor settings requires effective use of limited resources, but priority-setting is constrained by limited information about program costs and impacts, especially for interventions designed to improve diet quality. This study utilized a mixed methods approach to identify, describe and estimate the potential costs and impacts on child dietary intake of 12 nutrition-sensitive programs in Ethiopia, N…
Suaahara in Nepal
The burden of undernutrition in South Asia is greater than anywhere else. Policies and programmatic efforts increasingly address health and non-health determinants of undernutrition. In Nepal, one large-scale integrated nutrition program, Suaahara, aimed to reduce undernutrition among women and children in the 1,000-day period, while simultaneously addressing inequities. In this study, we use household-level process evaluation data (N = 480) to a…
