Causes and risk factors for deaths in young infants in South Asia
INTRODUCTION: Strategies for reducing infant mortality require accurate, local, population-level data. We conducted a population-based observational study in three countries in South Asia to describe risk factors, causes and rates of mortality in young infants. METHODS: Pregnancies, births and pregnancy outcomes were determined through household surveillance, and cause of deaths was ascertained by verbal autopsy. Cox regression was used to identi…

Improving the precision of maternal, newborn, and child health impact through geospatial analysis of the association of contextual and programmatic factors with health trends in Bihar, India
Background: There is a scarcity of research that comprehensively examines programme impact from a context-specific perspective. We aimed to determine the conditions under which the Bihar Technical Support Programme led to more favourable outcomes for maternal and child health in Bihar. Methods: We obtained block-level data on maternal and child health indicators during the state-wide scale-up of the pilot Ananya programme and data on health facil…
Gender and the impact of Covid-19 on demand for and access to health care
Background: Global health emergencies can impact men and women differently due to gender norms related to health care and social and economic disruptions. We investigated the intersectionality of gender differences of the impact of COVID-19 on health care access with educational and socio-economic factors in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. Methods: Data were collected by Opinion Research Business International using census data as the sampling …
Innovative methods to analyse the impact of gender norms on adolescent health using global health survey data
Implementing health communication tools at scale
INTRODUCTION: As part of an investment by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support the Government of Bihar to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (RMNCHN) statewide, BBC Media Action implemented multiple communication tools to support front-line worker (FLW) outreach. We analyse the impacts of a package of mHealth audio messaging and paper-based job aids used by FLWs during government-sponsored village hea…
Gender-related data missingness, imbalance and bias in global health surveys
Global surveys have built-in gender-related biases associated with data missingness across the gender dimensions of people’s lives, imbalanced or incomplete representation of population groups, and biased ways in which gender information is elicited and used. While increasing focus is being placed on the integration of sex-disaggregated statistics into national programmes and on understanding effects of gender-based disparities on the health of a…
Impact of the Ananya program on reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition in Bihar, India
The Government of Bihar (GoB) in India, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and several non-governmental organisations launched the Ananya program aimed to support the GoB to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (RMNCHN) statewide
Improving primary health care delivery in Bihar, India
In 2010, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) partnered with the Government of Bihar (GoB), India to launch the Ananya program to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition (RMNCHN) outcomes. The program sought to address supply-and demand-side barriers to the adoption, coverage, quality, equity and health impact of select RMNCHN interventions. Approaches included strengthening frontline worker service delivery…

Evaluation of a large-scale reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition program in Bihar, India, through an equity lens Background Despite increasing focus on health inequities in low-and middle income countries, significant disparities persist. We analysed impacts of a statewide maternal and child health program among the most compared to the least marginalised women in Bihar, India
Geospatial variations in trends of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition indicators at block level in Bihar, India, during scale-up of Ananya program interventions

All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Background Irish Travellers are a distinct minority group characterised by a nomadic lifestyle, specific culture and substantial socio-economic and health disadvantage. When examined in 1987 the Traveller community in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) were shown to have a higher mortality than the general population. Updated information was needed to inform policy action in this area. Objective To examine the current mortality experience of Irish Tra…
Socio-demographic, health status, psycho-social and lifestyle predictors of self-rated health in the all Ireland Traveller Health Study
Background Irish Travellers have a lower life expectancy than the general Population. Objective health-status indices are consistently poorer in Traveller and Gypsy populations than in other comparably deprived social groups. Self-rated Health (SRH) is established as a valid indicator of objective health status. Methods As part of an all-Ireland census of 10 618 Traveller families both North and South (response rate 80% overall) employing a novel…
P45 Regional comparison of socioeconomic and environmental profiles of families with pregnant women in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Objective Travellers have been documented as a distinct group in Irish society for centuries. They experience significant socio-economic and health disadvantage particularly pertinent to pregnancy and early childhood development. This analysis contrasts the socio-economic and environmental profiles of “families with a resident pregnant woman” (FRPW) to other Traveller families and according to two distinct geopolitical regions. Setting Census sur…
The all Ireland traveller birth cohort study
Objective Irish Travellers are a significant minority group characterised by a nomadic lifestyle, specific culture, and significant socio-economic and health disadvantage. When last documented in 1986, their fertility rate was one of the highest in Europe and infant mortality was almost 3 times the Irish average. The purpose of this study was to investigate prospectively the health status, health utilisation and health care needs of Traveller inf…
