WHO recently included MMS on their Essential Medicines List. The Social Marketing Company (SMC) in Bangladesh is implementing a countrywide, market-based roll-out of MMS to pregnant women. We aimed to evaluate the implementation of the supplementation programme and its impact on reducing LBW.Methods and analysisA two-arm, quasi-experimental and mixed-methods evaluation design will be used to evaluate the impact of this 36-month roll-out of MMS. In the intervention areas, pregnant women will purchase MMS products from the SMC’s pharmacy networks. Pregnant women in comparison areas will not be exposed to this product until the end of the study. We will collect 4500 pregnant women’s data on anthropometric, socioeconomic, nutrition-related and relevant programme indicators during recr...

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among them whose current age was below 30 years and who became pregnant during 13-19 years of age. Data were collected from April 2009 to July 2009. Chi-square test was done to see the association between dependent and independent variables. Results: Out of 132 respondents, 25.0%, 15.9% and 16.7% faced health problems during pregnancy, delivery and post-natal period respectively. During pregnancy, convulsion (14.3%), APH (28.6%), abortion (14.3%) and high fever (14.3%) was significantly more among early age group 14-15 years whereas hypertension (4.2%) and oedema (18.8%) was more among 16-17 years and those who were between 18-19 years of age faced significantly less health problems (p<0.001). During delivery and post natal period, the early and middle age group mothers significantly faced more health problems than comparatively higher age group (18-19 years). Around 30% mothers had current health problems as the long term consequences. Among neonates, 27.3% faced health problems who borne from early aged mothers. The mean age at marriage and pregnancy was 16.3 and 17.7 years respectively and 46.2%, 16.7% and 92% received ANC, PNC and home delivery respectively. However, 93%, 4%, 1.5% and 1.5% had normal delivery, caesarian section, episiotomy and assisted vaginal delivery respectively. Conclusion: Women in rural Bangladesh reports substantial morbidity.

Therefore, this study sought to find out the contributing factors of malnutrition among under-five children in coastal region of Bangladesh.Study Design: It is descriptive type cross-sectional study.Methods: Anthropometric methods and structured questionnaires were used to collect required data. Nutritional status was measured using Z score according to WHO classification.175 children (6-59 months) and their householdin Barguna district was considered for study subjects. Results and discussion:Only 5.7% children were introduced with colostrum and 25.71% followed exclusive breast feeding. The rate of literacy was found to be higher in father (85.1%) as compared to mother (39.4%). 68.6% children are suffering from underweight whereas the percentage of wasting and stunting children were found to 40.6% and 60% respectively. Breastfeeding practice and monthly family income were significantly associated with wasting, stunting and underweight. Children who were not exclusively breast fed had higher rate of moderate wasting (59.5%), stunting (70.5%) and underweight (74.6%). Children with illiterate father were found to have more odd value of having wasting, stunting and underweight compared to literate father. Furthermore, early age (6-24 month) of children are more susceptible for malnutrition as compared to the age (25-59 months) of children. Conclusions: Children are underweight and stunting due to the insufficient breast feeding practice, father's education, monthly income of families and sanitary practices. Therefore, community nutrition and public health education are early demands for the people in the coastal area.
