This study investigates the effects of a brief training programme on communication skills doctors in ambulatory care settings Trinidad and Tobago. Evaluation doctor performance is based analysis audiotapes with their patients during routine clinic visits patient satisfaction ratings. A pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate exposure programme. Doctors were assigned groups voluntary participation Audiotapes 15 participating (nine trained six control) 75 at baseline...
The USAID/WASHplus project conducted a comprehensive assessment to understand consumer needs and preferences as they relate increasing the uptake consistent, exclusive, correct use of improved cookstoves (ICSs) in Bangladesh. included household ICS trials, fuel stove monitoring, consumers' perceived value willingness pay for ICSs. Results showed that cooks appreciated liked ICS, but no models met sufficiently replace traditional stoves. Initially, many preferred ICSs over stoves, this...
Global efforts to improve menstrual health and sexual reproductive rights (SRHR) are fundamentally intertwined share similar goals for improving well-being increasing gender equality. Historically, however, the two fields have operated independently missed opportunities build upon their biological sociocultural linkages. Biological touchpoints connecting include genital tract infections, disorders, contraception, menopause. From a perspective, intersections occur in relation experience of...

We evaluated the effectiveness of a sand barrier around latrine pits in reducing fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) leaching into shallow groundwater. constructed 68 new offset single pit pour flush latrines Galachipa subdistrict coastal Bangladesh. randomly assigned 34 to include 50 cm thick under and received no barrier. Four monitoring wells were each collect water samples at baseline subsequent nine follow-up visits over 24 months. Samples tested using IDEXX Colilert method enumerate E. coli...
The persistence and pervasiveness of growth stunting in low- middle-income countries spur reexamination disease transmission pathways related to water, sanitation, hygiene. Animal feces constitute a more important reservoir enteric pathogens homes low-income than previously recognized, exploratory object mouthing direct ingestion soil animal represent underexplored exposure pathways. effectiveness, adoption, constraints, scale-up potential measures for reducing infant young children's fecal...
Growing evidence suggests current water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions do not improve domestic sufficiently to infant health, nor consider the age-specific behaviors which increase infection risk. A household playspace (HPS) is described as one critical intervention reduce direct fecal–oral transmission within formative growth periods. This article details both design development (materials methods), testing (results) of a HPS for rural Ethiopian households. Design followed...
Pit latrines are the most common latrine technology in rural Bangladesh, and untreated effluent from pits can directly contaminate surrounding aquifers. Sand barriers installed around pit help reduce contamination but also alter decomposition of fecal sludge accelerate fill-up, which counteract their benefits. We aimed to evaluate whether there was a difference survival soil-transmitted helminth (STH) ova among where 50-cm sand barrier at bottom pit, compared without barrier, coastal...
Community-based prevention programs are increasingly being asked to deliver better outcomes with fewer dollars. Funders and researchers challenged transfer state-of-the-art technologies for communities readily apply. How does this happen? For five years, social marketers from the Academy Educational Development (AED) Porter Novelli guided U.S. in using marketing behavioral science principles develop HIV local teens.
