Abstract Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation is an efficacious intervention in pregnancy for improving birthweight and recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) countries with high maternal undernutrition. Few have implemented BEP programmes due part to cost, lack of data on acceptability feasibility, complexity delivery. We sought address implementation gaps interventions through a formative study designed understand outcomes. conducted 52 in‐depth interviews 8 focus‐group...
Maternal and child survival is a major public health problem in haor areas Bangladesh. Fathers feel responsible as expressed by their capability "to save the future". Using Capability Framework for Child Growth, we aimed to identify what contextual factors underlie father's real opportunities secure safe delivery, including social norms beliefs. Parents from households having children less than two years old were asked participate rounds of qualitative research. In total, 25 focus group...
Balanced energy protein (BEP) supplementation in pregnancy is recommended the context of undernutrition for reduction small-for-gestational age neonates and stillbirths. To inform an effectiveness trial, we evaluated acceptability a packaged, ready-to-eat fortified BEP product among women reproductive their health care providers (HCPs) rural Bangladesh explored feasibility adhering to daily supplementation.
