The study was carried out in two villages chosen from ICDDR,B intervention and comparison areas of Matlab thana where BRAC's Rural Development Programme (RDP) has also been working since 1992. From both the areas 600 women of reproductive age were randomly selected and interviewed. The findings reveal that in the MCH-FP area 56% of women practiced family planning while only 33% did so in the comparison area. In both the areas the main methods used were pills and injectables. Regarding the knowledge of contraceptives, most women in the MCH-FP area were able to name five modem methods while the majority in the comparison area could name only three methods. Virtually all women in both the villages could describe the nature of the pill and ligation while many had no idea about IUD and condom. Correct categorization of methods as temporary or permanent was found to be higher in the MCH-FP area than in the comparison area. The study found that women in both the areas had little or no knowledge of the specific indications of all methods. The majority of women in the MCH-FP area knew about proper use of pill, injection and condom compared to those in the comparison area where none had complete knowledge regarding any method. However, even in the MCH-FP area women did not know what to do if two pills were missed. The nature and the function of the brown tablets were not known to the women in the comparison area but some women in the MCH-FP area had some idea of the furmm. . In the MCH-FP area 78.4 % of the women knew the specific date of menstrual period from which injection should be started compared to the comparison area where only some of them knew about that. The majority of respondents in both the areas knew that it should be taken regularly at an interval of three months on a· fixed date. which was significantly higher in the MCH-FP area. The study found that maj~rity of women in the MCH-FP area knew the exact time and frequency of using condom compared to the comparison area where only a few .knew that. This is not surprising given that only a small proportion of women in the comparison area ever heard of condoms and that none of the couples were using it. \Vomen had no knowledge about the timing of insertion of IUD, but only that it had to be replaced periodically at an interval of2-4 years. - Women's general perception about the mechanism of action of the different methods was that they act by damaging the sperm or ovum. Women had no clear idea about the advantages of any of the methods. It was found that most of the women in the MCH-FP area were interested in injection, as the main advantage was that one injection provided three months' protection and maintained privacy (as it was administered like any other injection). This was specially appreciated by those who were shy about using contraceptives. Women had little knowledge of the side-effects of contraceptive methods. The commonly mentioned side-effects of pill and injection were: giddiness, weakness, headache, and irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding. Some respondents mentioned that injection caused prolonged amenorrhoea which in tum caused bodyache, and burning sensation in hands and feet. The women in the MCH-FP area had misconceptions about condoms such as that it might cause genital ulcer. The side-effects of ligation were more often assumed than actually experienced.Item An assessment of clints' knowledge of family planning in Matlab[book](Dhaka:BRAC-ICDDR,B Joint Research Project, 1996. v, 31 p., 1996) Hashima-e-Nasreen; Chowdhury, Mushtaque; Bhuiya, Abbas; Rana, AKM Masud; Pieris, IndraniItem An inventory of the development programmes by government and non-government organizations in selected unions of matlab(excluding BRAC & ICDDR,B)(Dhaka: BRAC-ICDDR,B Joint Research project, 1997. iv, 24 p., 1997) Khan, Monirul Islam; Chowdhury, Mushtaque; Bhuiya, AbbasItem [ASCON XIII] : Science to accelerate universal health coverage ; abstract book [of the] 13th Annual Scientific Conference, 14-17 March 2011, ICDDR,B, Dhaka, Bangladesh / Alejandro Cravioto, Timothy G.

The issues examined in this study are: background of the borrowers, use of loan, participation of the women in the use of loan, economic return on investment, borrowing from other sources, mobility of the borrowers or the decision making by the borrowers in their households related to the loan from BRAC. Findings revealed varied importance of credit for the BRAC borrowers. BRAC loans were a substantial support for the poor in terms of emergency funds and capital for multifarious investment. Despite access to loans from BRAC, they still borrowed from the moneylenders under compelling situations. It further found that the dominance of patriarchy was difficult to break because of its deep root in the society. Though observance of purdah varied, it was never absent and as such restricted the movement of women to a great extent. Patriarchal division of labour ensured that women remain confined mostly within household. The study concluded that these deep-rooted cultural factors were responsible for the perpetuation of women's subordination and micro-credit could not change it significantly.Item Assailing poverty and patriarechy: how does small money fare[book](Dhaka: BRAC-ICDDRB joint Research Project, 1998. 43 p., 1998) Khan, Monirul Islam; Chowdhury, Mushtaque; Bhuiya, Abbas; Rana, MasudItem Bangladesh : an intervention study of factors underlying increasing equity in child survival(2001) Bhuiya, Abbas; Chowdhury, Mushtaque; Ahmed, Faruque; Adams, Alayne M.Item Bangladesh Innovation for universal health coverage 1: the Bangladesh paradox exceptional health achievement despite economic poverty(The Lancet, 2013) Chowdhury, Mahbub Elahi; Bhuiya, Abbas; Rasheed, Sabrina; Hussain, Zakir; Lincoln C ChenItem Beneficial effects of a woman-focused development programme on child survival evidence from rural Bangladesh(Social Science & Medicine, 2002) Bhuiya, Abbas; Chowdhury, A.M..R.Item Beneficial effects of a woman-focused development programme on child survival: evidence from rural Bangladesh(2002) Bhuiya, Abbas; Chowdhury, MushtaqueItem BRAC's Rural Development Programme and child nutrition(1998-03) Khatun, Masuma; Bhuiya, Abbas; Chowdhury, A.M.R; Hyder, S.M.
