Overlooked Aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of Gender and Sexually Diverse People in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Objectives This article highlights neglected areas of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) among gender and sexually diverse people (GSDP) in Dhaka (the capital), Bangladesh.Methods We pioneered an SRHR surveillance system, applying mixed-methods approaches, for 670 men who have sex with men (MSM), 552 male sex workers (MSW), and 610 hijra (local transgender subculture). Participants were recruited through time-location sampling. In-d…
Gender Differences in Adverse Childhood Experiences, Psychological Distress, and Substance Use Disorder Among Persons who Inject Drugs in Northeast Georgia, USA
Persons who inject drugs (PWID) commonly have adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as well as substance use disorder (SUD). ACEs have been linked to psychological distress, which might affect the adoption of harmful behaviors like drug addiction. This study aims to determine the potential mediational role of psychological distress between ACEs and SUD moderated by gender among PWID living in Northeast Georgia. Data were collected from adult (≥ 18…
The Political Nexus
Politics is an essential element of a country. Bangladesh is no different. Politics must work in a way that the people can get benefits from it and help them to improve their quality of life, address their concerns, and contribute to the development of a fair and just society. This study explores the existing connection between politics and corruption in Bangladesh, focusing on their underlying motives and objectives. It explores the corrupt prac…
Improving the provision for gynaecological health care in Bangladesh using Essential Gynaecological Skills implementation package
Background: Gynaecological health and its related service delivery have long been neglected in Bangladesh. In response to the high burden and improvements in the provision of gynaecological health care, the Essential Gynaecological Skills (EGS) implementation package was developed. It includes comprehensive in-service training for upskilling the non-specialised health care providers and introduces the first structured data recording system for gy…
Validation of the Bangla WHO-5 well-being index among gender and sexually diverse people in Bangladesh
Findings of the present analysis indicate that the Bangla WHO-5 Well-being Index is a valid and reliable instrument to assess psychological well-being among GSDP in Bangladesh and is comparable with the original version of the scale in terms of psychometric properties
Gay Community Connectedness, Internalized Homonegativity, and HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Attitudes and Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Georgia
Georgia has one of the highest HIV diagnosis rates in the U.S., yet only 33% of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) users in the Deep South live there. This study aims to determine the potential mediational role of internalized homonegativity and attitudes towards PrEP between gay community connectedness and PrEP use among men who have sex with men (MSM) living in Georgia. Participants (N = 121) completed an online survey in June 2020. PrEP use (yes/…
Under-5 mortality surveillance in low-income and middle-income countries
Without complete data on under-5 mortality, tracking progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 will be challenging. Such data are also needed to ensure proper planning and prioritisation of scarce resources in low-income and middle-income countries. However, most low-income and middle-income countries have weak Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems, leaving a critical gap in understanding under-5 mortality dynam…
An Assessment of Multipollutant Exposures Using Silicone Wristbands Among Bangladeshi Youth
Residents of Bangladesh are exposed to numerous chemicals due to local industries, including dyeing mills, cotton mills, and the use of biomass in daily cooking. It is, therefore, important to characterize the exposome and work to identify risk factors of exposure. We used silicone wristband passive samplers to evaluate exposure to volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in a sample of 40 children in the Araihazar upazila of Bangladesh. We u…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the coverage and timeliness of routine childhood vaccinations in the Gambia, 2015–2021
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread morbidity and mortality and resulted in the biggest setback in routine vaccinations in three decades. Data on the impact of the pandemic on immunisation in Africa are limited, in part, due to low-quality routine or administrative data. This study examined coverage and timeliness of routine childhood immunisation during the pandemic in The Gambia, a country with an immunisation system considere…
Major dietary patterns and carotid intima-media thickness in Bangladesh
Objective Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a validated surrogate marker of preclinical atherosclerosis and is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Research on the association between IMT and diet, however, is lacking, especially in low-income countries or low-BMI populations. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Dietary intakes were measured using a validated, thirty-nine-item FFQ at baseline cohort recruitment. IMT measuremen…
