Designing for Impact and Institutionalization: Applying Systems Thinking to Sustainable Postpartum Family Planning Approaches for First-Time Mothers in Bangladesh.

Integrated service delivery approaches have shown promise to increase use of services including postpartum family planning (PPFP) by young, first-time mothers (FTMs) but have proven challenging to scale and institutionalize. Integration adds complexity, requiring careful assessment of effects on a range of key system functions from demand creation and service delivery to oversight and governance. Through an innovative design process, we selected approaches to increase FTMs' PPFP use through existing health systems.

Household Transmission of Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Ontario, Canada.

Background: Data on household transmission of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) remain limited. We studied risk of CPE household co-colonization and transmission in Ontario, Canada.

Methods: We enrolled CPE index cases (identified via population-based surveillance from January 2015 to October 2018) and their household contacts.

Emergence of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae, South-Central Ontario, Canada.

We analyzed population-based surveillance data from the Toronto Invasive Bacterial Diseases Network to describe carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) infections during 2007-2015 in south-central Ontario, Canada. We reviewed patients' medical records and travel histories, analyzed microbiologic and clinical characteristics of CPE infections, and calculated incidence. Among 291 cases identified, New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase was the predominant carbapenemase (51%).

Socioeconomic inequality in child injury in Bangladesh - implication for developing countries.

Background: Child injury is an emerging public health issue in both developed and developing countries. It is the main cause of deaths and disabilities of children after infancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the socioeconomic inequality in injury related morbidity and mortality among 1-4 years children.

Community perception of childhood drowning and its prevention measures in rural Bangladesh: a qualitative study.

Objectives: To gain an in-depth understanding of people's perception of causes and their concepts of prevention of childhood drowning in rural Bangladesh.

Design: A qualitative study and focus group discussion (FGD) was adopted.

Setting: A rural community in Bangladesh.

The magnitude of child injuries in Bangladesh: a major child health problem.

In recent times, many developing countries including Bangladesh not only have to cope with infectious diseases and malnutrition but also with new health problems, such as asthma, cancer and accidents. The emergence of chronic diseases and injuries has not been seen as an important health issue to date. The work presented here has the objectives of conceptualizing the dynamic changes in child mortality within the framework of the health transition, to provide a basis for projection of future mortality and disability in children in Bangladesh.
