This paper reports results from a prospective study of impact of a woman-focused
development programme on child survival in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh. A
total of 5,567 children born during 1993-96 in the study area were followed till the
end of December 1996. Life table analysis was carried out to compare the survival
curves of children of mothers who participated in the development programme with
those of comparable and richer non-participants. Hazard analysis was performed to
calculate the relative risk of death controlling the effects of other independent
variables. The analysis revealed a positive impact of the development programmes on
survival of children. |
