Background

Absenteeism by doctors in public healthcare facilities in rural Bangladesh is a form of chronic rule-breaking and is recognised as a critical problem by the government.

For decades, in-person data collection has been the standard modality for nationally and sub-nationally representative socio-economic survey data in low- and middle-income countries.

There is a growing literature documenting the link between parental migration and children’s health. However, few studies have explained the underlying mechanism of this observed relationship.

This paper investigates the associations between agricultural diversification and dietary diversity among men, women and children of farm households in Bangladesh.

Research has shown mixed findings on the link between production diversity and household dietary diversity. The question is whether this link holds for children.

Antenatal care (ANC) is an opportunity to receive interventions that can prevent low birth weight (LBW).

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations.

Considerable literature from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) links maternal employment to child nutritional status.

Intoduction: This study aims to investigate the health-related quality of life and coping strategies among COVID-19 survivors in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is experiencing a nutrition transition with an increase in the double burden of malnutrition and non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Modeling studies estimated severe impacts of potential service delivery disruptions due to COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child nutrition outcomes.

Malnutrition during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality and has a long-term negative impact on child growth and development.

Introduction: The impact of climate change on agriculture and food security has been examined quite thoroughly by researchers globally as well as in India.

Rapid urban expansion has important health implications. This study examines trends and inequalities in undernutrition and overnutrition by gender, residence (rural, urban slum, urban non-slum), and wealth among children and adults in India.

India has one of the largest agricultural input support programs in the world, delivered in the form of subsidies to farmers, raising concerns about its sustainability.

Globally, there remain significant knowledge and evidence gaps around how to support Community Health Worker (CHW) programmes to achieve high coverage and quality of interventions.

Adolescent wellbeing is critical to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and one in five of the world’s adolescents live in India. We explored predictors of learning skills and depression in Indian adolescents.

Little evidence from developing countries on dietary transition demonstrates the effects of comprehensive childhood obesity interventions on dietary diversity and food variety among younger children.
