Universal home visits improve male knowledge and attitudes about maternal and child health in Bauchi State, Nigeria: Secondary outcome analysis of a stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends increased male involvement to improve maternal and newborn health in low- and middle-income countries, but few studies have measured the impact of male-engagement interventions on targeted men. A trial of universal home visits to pregnant women and their spouses in Nigeria improved maternal and child health outcomes. This analysis examines the impact of the visits on male spouses. METHODS: test…
Equity and vaccine uptake: A cross-sectional study of measles vaccination in Lasbela District, Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Achieving equity means increased uptake of health services for those who need it most. But the poorest families continue to have the poorest service. In Pakistan, large numbers of children do not access vaccination against measles despite the national government's effort to achieve universal coverage. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of a random sample of 23 rural and 9 urban communities in the Lasbela district of south Pakistan, expl…
Evidence-based discussion increases childhood vaccination uptake: A randomised cluster controlled trial of knowledge translation in Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Childhood vaccination rates are low in Lasbela, one of the poorest districts in Pakistan's Balochistan province. This randomised cluster controlled trial tested the effect on uptake of informed discussion of vaccination costs and benefits, without relying on improved health services. METHODS: Following a baseline survey of randomly selected representative census enumeration areas, a computer generated random number sequence assigned 1…
One size does not fit all: Local determinants of measles vaccination in four districts of Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Rates of childhood vaccination in Pakistan remain low.There is continuing debate about the role of consumer and service factors in determining levels of vaccination in developing countries. METHODS: In a stratified random cluster sample of census enumeration areas across four districts in Pakistan, household interviews about vaccination of children and potentially related factors with 10,423 mothers of 14,542 children preceded discuss…
Collecting Reliable Information About Violence Against Women Safely in Household Interviews: Experience From a Large-Scale National Survey in South Asia
This article describes the first national survey of violence against women in Pakistan from 2001 to 2004 covering 23,430 women. The survey took account of methodological and ethical recommendations, ensuring privacy of interviews through one person interviewing the mother-in-law while another interviewed the eligible woman privately. The training module for interviewers focused on empathy with respondents, notably increasing disclosure rates. Onl…
Challenging the myths about madaris in Pakistan: A national household survey of enrolment and reasons for choosing religious schools
Household cost-benefit equations and sustainable universal childhood immunisation: A randomised cluster controlled trial in south Pakistan [ISRCTN12421731]
This project proposes knowledge translation as a two-way communication that can be augmented by local and international evidence. We will document cultural and contextual barriers to immunisation in the context of household cost-benefit equations. The project makes this information accessible to health managers, and reciprocally, makes information on immunisation effects and side effects available to communities. We will measure the impact of thi…
