Great strides, yet a long way to go
BACKGROUND: Bangladesh faces substantial inequalities in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), with disparities across sociodemographic groups and between urban and rural populations. Evidence on temporal changes in household WASH access and its determinants remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To assess changes in household WASH and examine the influence of sociodemographic factors on access, using data from two national hygiene surveys at national and …
Evaluation of a multicomponent child development intervention delivered through the government health system
INTRODUCTION: Small efficacy trials have demonstrated that multicomponent interventions can improve early child development. We evaluated the large-scale delivery of a multicomponent intervention delivered by government health workers throughout a rural subdistrict in northwestern Bangladesh. METHODS: We evaluated a group-based, multicomponent intervention with a curriculum covering responsive parenting, caregivers' mental health, lead exposure p…
Socio-demographic factors associated with mental health disorders among rural women in Mymensingh, Bangladesh
These findings highlight the crucial role of addressing socio-demographic factors, like income and physical health, when promoting mental health among rural women in Bangladesh. By acknowledging and targeting these factors, interventions can be more tailored and effective, ensuring improved well-being and resilience within this population
Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on caregiver mental health and the child caregiving environment in a low-resource, rural context
Early child development has been influenced directly and indirectly by the COVID-19 pandemic, and these effects are exacerbated in contexts of poverty. This study estimates effects of the pandemic and subsequent population lockdowns on mental health, caregiving practices, and freedom of movement among female caregivers of children 6–27 months (50% female), in rural Bangladesh. A cohort (N = 517) was assessed before and during the pandemic (May–Ju…
Success Factors for Community Health Workers in Implementing an Integrated Group-Based Child Development Intervention in Rural Bangladesh
Community Health Workers (CHWs) can effectively implement maternal and child health interventions, but there is paucity of evidence on how to integrate child stimulation into these interventions, and their delivery at scale. In rural Bangladesh, CHWs implemented an intervention integrating psychosocial stimulation, nutrition, maternal mental health, water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and lead exposure prevention. In each of 16 intervention village…
The Lived Experiences of Community Health Workers Serving in a Large-Scale Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Intervention Trial in Rural Bangladesh
Community health workers (CHWs) are key to implementing community-based health interventions and quality can be enhanced by better understanding their lived experiences. The WASH Benefits, Bangladesh trial engaged 540 female CHWs to promote varying health intervention packages. We report on factors influencing their lived experiences during the trial, to aid future recruitment, training and retention of CHWs. Nine focus groups and 18 in-depth int…
Adaptation and Integration of Psychosocial Stimulation, Maternal Mental Health and Nutritional Interventions for Pregnant and Lactating Women in Rural Bangladesh
Supporting caregivers' mental wellbeing and ability to provide psychosocial stimulation may promote early childhood development. This paper describes the systematic approach of developing an integrated stimulation intervention, identifying the feasibility and challenges faced throughout the period. We developed an integrated curriculum by culturally adapting three interventions (Reach Up, Thinking Healthy, and general nutrition advice) and pilote…
