Summary

The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of implementing a group-based integrated early child development intervention through the government health system in one sub-district of Bangladesh, and to assess the resulting uptake of the intervention in the target population.

Conditions

  • Early Childhood Development

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Integrated child stimulation, nutrition, lead, arsenic, WASH intervention

The content of the intervention curriculum was developed considering the needs of the specific ages of the children attending the group, as well as the feasibility of delivering the package in the community. The pregnancy module encompasses information on significance of prenatal care for child development, physiological symptoms and solutions, maternal diet, education on kangaroo mother care (KMC), breast feeding, thinking healthy, hygiene, and lead and arsenic prevention. The curriculum for lactating mothers focuses on specialized messages for 4 age groups of children: 0-5 months, 6-11 months, 12-18 months and 19-24 months. The overall package includes information regarding WASH, psychosocial stimulation, nutrition, maternal mental health, lead and arsenic. As research evidence showed that psychosocial stimulation provided for 10 or 12 months can significantly improve child development, the psychosocial stimulation component is included in every fortnightly session.
