Primary and secondary infertility in India
Determinants of infertility among married women attending health facilities in Rajasthan, India
The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Program of Action (POA) in 1994 acknowledged infertility as a key aspect of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

Scoping Review of Intervention Strategies for Improving Coverage and Uptake of Maternal Nutrition Services in Southeast Asia
Maternal undernutrition can lead to protein-energy malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, or anemia during pregnancy or after birth. It remains a major problem, despite evidence-based maternal-nutrition interventions happening on ground. We conducted a scoping review to understand different strategies and delivery mechanisms to improve maternal nutrition, as well as how interventions have improved coverage and uptake of services. An electronic…
Association between gender disadvantage factors and postnatal psychological distress among young women
Common mental health disorders are studied extensively among adult women globally. However, they remain under-researched among young women. This study aims to determine whether gender disadvantage factors are associated with psychological distress among young women in rural India, where the child sex ratio is lower than the national average. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural Pune, India. A total of 229 young married women who had a …
Evaluation of a community-based intervention for health and economic empowerment of marginalized women in India
Most of the women in Banda (90%) and Kaushambi (85%) attended at least 60% of the education sessions. Around 39% of women in Banda and 35% of women in Kaushambi registered for the livelihood scheme, and 94 and 80% of them had worked under the scheme in these two places, respectively. Women's awareness about MCH seemed to have increased post-intervention. The money earned after getting work under the livelihood scheme or from daily savings was dep…
Is Mother’s Education or Household Poverty a Better Predictor for Girl’s School Dropout? Evidence from Aggregated Community Effects in Rural India
Neighbourhoods and families are key social institutions instilled with development of early life course of adolescents. Limited research in India has examined exposure to community along with socioeconomic conditions for school-dropouts of girls. Multidimensional benefits of female education are increasingly recognized in recent years; hence, it becomes imperative to study the community components of school discontinuation particularly in rural a…
Effectiveness of a community based intervention to delay early marriage, early pregnancy and improve school retention among adolescents in India
Intervention strategies such as YIC and exposure to mass media, showed an effect in reducing early marriage, early pregnancy and improved school retention. Peer education conducted through the YIC proved to be an effective model. Therefore, this multi-component community based intervention can be a potential model for reducing the number of early marriages and its related consequences in other districts of India with similar socio-economic and cu…
Addressing the growing burden of non–communicable disease by leveraging lessons from infectious disease management
In recent decades, low– and middle–income countries (LMICs) have achieved decreased morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases and poor maternal– and child–health (MCH). However, despite these advances, LMICs now face an additional burden with the inexorable rise of non–communicable diseases (NCDs). Deaths due to NCDs in LMICs are expected to increase from 30.8 million in 2015 to 41.8 million by 2030 [1]. While improvements in li…
