Schoolchildren are commonly linked to influenza transmission. Handwashing with soap has been shown decrease infections; however, improving handwashing practices using and water is difficult in low-resource settings. In these settings, alternative hygiene options, such as hand sanitizer, could improve promotion reduce virus infections. We conducted a cluster randomized control trial 24 primary schools Dhaka assess the effectiveness of sanitizer respiratory education intervention reducing...
Acute diarrhoeal disease management often requires rehydration alone without antibiotics. However, non-indicated antibiotics are frequently ordered and this is an important driver of antimicrobial resistance. The mHealth Diarrhoea Management (mHDM) trial aimed to establish whether electronic decision support improves antibiotic guideline adherence in resource-limited settings. A cluster randomised controlled was done at ten district hospitals Bangladesh. Inclusion criteria were patients aged...
Significance Monitoring compliance with environmental regulations is a global challenge. It particularly difficult for governments in low-income countries, where informal industry responsible large amount of pollution, because the lack ability to locate and monitor numbers dispersed polluters. This study demonstrates an accurate, scalable machine-learning approach identifying brick kilns, highly polluting Bangladesh, satellite imagery. Our data reveal widespread violations national governing...
Coal-fired brick kilns have spread rapidly in Bangladesh, where they are one of the largest sources air pollution. The adverse health impacts pollution been widely documented, yet there is little empirical evidence on externalities this important industry. We conducted a field study Bangladesh to quantify contribution fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and estimate association with child asthma symptoms, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), general respiratory symptoms. exploit...
Rural Bangladesh faces challenges of limited health care resources and a shortage professionals. Informal providers, particularly village doctors, fill this void by being first point bridge to the formal system. This study explores formally trained physicians’ perspectives on doctors’ role in qualitative was conducted southeast included 12 individual in-depth interviews with physicians. Data were analyzed using applied thematic analysis, focusing both contributions shortcomings doctors....
We present results from a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh that introduced operational practices to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions 276 "zigzag" brick kilns. Of all intervention kilns, 65% adopted the improved practices. Treatment assignment reduced use by 10.5% (P-value <0.001) decreased CO2 PM2.5 171 0.45 metric tons, respectively, per kiln year. Valuing reductions using social cost of carbon 185 USD ton, we find benefits outweigh costs factor 65 1. The...
Soil degradation is an important threat to sustainable agriculture. In Bangladesh, brick production contributes soil loss as the country relies on clay-rich for making. An in-depth understanding of why farmers sell and corresponding impacts agricultural productivity critical developing implementing new policies utilizing alternate materials methods in Bangladesh other areas that continue rely fired clay bricks their primary building material. A team anthropologists conducted 120 structured...
Abstract Treatment of life-threatening diarrheal illness in rural areas Bangladesh relies on the training and accessibility informal healthcare providers such as village doctors (VDs). We found that VDs located closer to main roads were more likely be government-trained, but just administer intravenous fluids.
Diarrhea prevalence increases from around the time that complementary foods are introduced. Improving caregiver's hand hygiene during food preparation could reduce contamination and enteric pathogen transmission. Washing hands with soap is more common when water together at a convenient location. We conducted three-month pilot intervention to evaluate two options for setting up handwashing stations: i) provide station, or ii) help family make their own available materials. Additionally, we...
Background The influx of Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMNs) has left the Southwest coastal district Cox’s Bazar with one greatest contemporary humanitarian crises, stressing existing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) resources services. This study aimed to assess capacity local institutions involved in delivering WASH services identify relevant recommendations for intervention strategies. Methods We used a qualitative approach, including interviews assessment workshops engaged...
Water chlorination is widely used in emergency responses to reduce diarrheal diseases, although communities with no prior exposure chlorinated drinking water can have low acceptability. To better inform treatment interventions, the study explored acceptability, barriers, and motivating-factors of a piped program, household level chlorine-tablet distribution, place for four months Rohingya refugee camps, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. We collected data from June August 2018 purposively selected...
This paper examines how electricity reforms in India managed to influence the responses of generating firms. Indian have federal and state character. utilises an extensive survey generation units Gujarat State. The findings suggest that created heterogeneous ownership units. fuel-mix technology choices new owners differ from pre-reform pattern followed by state-owned utilities. prefer natural gas, sourced technologies internationally, chosen unit sizes follow market dynamics. Consequently,...
