Developing an integrated community mobilisation package to prevent childhood injuries in rural Bangladesh

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We will design a package of activities that can be delivered in rural communities in Bangladesh to enable them to prevent the incidence and deaths of children aged 0-5 years caused by unintentional injuries. Based on current evidence, the package is likely to include community action groups, as the main component, to enable caregivers to work together to overcome the barriers that may exist to putting these actions into practice. The package is also likely to include home visits to help caregivers learn practical actions to prevent injuries and public health campaigns to raise awareness about the causes of injuries.To design this package we will review the main causes of unintentional child injuries in rural Bangladesh and the existing community-based strategies that are being used. We will also speak to caregivers to explore what they perceive as risks for their children and what environmental and behavioural factors may increase the risk of injury. Using this information we will design the package of activities and test how well they work and what people think of them.
