    Open AccessJeremiah Mutinye Kwesiga, John Mark Bwanika et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Depression remains a critical mental health challenge among young people in low-resource settings, where financial, structural, and social barriers frequently limit care access. Digital approaches, including Tele-Support Psychotherapy (TSP), have emerged as promising, scalable alternatives to Standard in-person Mental Health Services (SMHS), yet evidence comparing their implementation remains limited. This study explored facilitators and barriers…

This study assessed urban-rural disparities in PNC utilization using data from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey. A sample of 4,844 ever-married women aged 15–49 with a recent live birth (3,249 from rural areas; 1,595 from urban areas) was analyzed. Outcomes included receiving any PNC, re…

  • Using DHIS2 routine data for health system preparedness in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessMd Toufiq Hassan Shawon, Toufiq Hassan Shawon et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Bangladesh face persistent challenges in delivering timely and equitable care, often exacerbated by poor planning and inefficient resource allocation. Forecasting service utilization using routine health data can support more responsive and data-driven health system planning, yet such approaches remain under utilized in Bangladesh. By analyzing service utilization trends and projecti…

  • Assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of verbal autopsy using contact information of the deceased from burial records in urban Bangladesh

    Open AccessAniqa Tasnim Hossain, Ema Akter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Bangladesh faces significant challenges in accurately documenting causes of death (COD), largely due to incomplete vital registration systems, which lack COD reporting. A substantial number of deaths occur outside health facilities, often without medical certification, leading to further gaps in mortality data. Verbal autopsy (VA) has emerged as a viable method in low-resource settings to bridge this gap. We aimed to explore the feasi…

  • Understanding the socio-demographic and programmatic factors associated with adolescent motherhood and its association with child undernutrition in Bangladesh

    Open AccessMd Alamgir Hossain, Novel Chandra Das et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Children of adolescent mothers are at risk of wasting, underweight, and any form of undernutrition. For effective policies and interventions in Bangladesh, it is important to emphasise delaying adolescent pregnancy and prioritising child undernutrition

  • Sociodemographic and maternal health-related factors associated with mortality among children under three in Bangladesh

    Open AccessMd Fakhar Uddin, Fakhar Uddin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Higher odds of U3 child mortality were associated with mothers who did not use contraceptives, delivered vaginally, and were aged 30-39 years in Bangladesh. Conversely, higher maternal education and larger family size were associated with lower odds of U3 child mortality. The findings suggest that community-based family planning awareness programs focused on contraceptive use, as it prevents childbirth and is also a marker of health service usage
