SUMMARY:Seminar - Community engagement to prevent and control diabetes in Bangladesh
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nCommunity engagement to prevent and control diabetes in Bangladesh. \nDr Ed Fottrell\, Director\, UCL Centre for Global Non-Communicable Diseases.\n \nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus. \nAbstract\nLearning from experience of community mobilisation to improve maternal and child health\, we developed two distinct population based interventions to prevent and control diabetes within rural communities in Bangladesh. The first intervention was an mHealth health promotion strategy delivered to individual’s mobile phones. The second was a participatory community mobilisation intervention whereby community groups identified and addressed key threats to their health in their own communities. The interventions were evaluated using a three arm cluster-randomised controlled trial across 96 villages covering a population of approximately 125\,000 individuals. This presentation will describe the development of these interventions\, their implementation and impact. \nAbout Dr Fottrell\nDr Fottrell is an Associate Professor in Epidemiology & Global Health at University College London. He is experienced in community health measurement\, intervention development and evaluation in Africa and Asia. He has a history of research into maternal\, neonatal and child health\, verbal autopsy\, non-communicable diseases\, community interventions and mHealth. Dr Fottrell is Director of the UCL Centre for Global Non-communicable Diseases and is PI of the GACD/MRC-funded DMagic and D:Clare projects – implementation science and cluster trials to address diabetes in Bangladesh. \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/
