From research to implementation: Lessons learned from drowning prevention in Bangladesh

Describe the scaling up of two drowning prevention interventions in Bangladesh, including processes and experiences.

Background: Drowning is a major cause of child mortality globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, the scale-up and sustainability of effective drowning prevention strategies in LMICs are under-researched.

Objective: Describe the processes and outcomes of scaling up two drowning prevention interventions in Bangladesh.

Program Description: Collaborating with the Center for Injury Prevention and Research, Bangladesh (CIPRB), the Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit (JH-IIRU) initiated child drowning prevention interventions in rural Bangladesh. The ""Saving of Lives from Drowning"" project introduced effective measures such as daycare centers ('creches') reducing drowning by 88% in children aged 1-5 years, and the ""SwimSafe"" project preventing drowning by 96% in children aged 4-10 years. Advocacy efforts led to government integration of these interventions into child development initiatives.

Outcomes and Learnings: The collaborative effort resulted in the government's adoption and funding of the Integrated Community-Based Center for Child Care, Protection, and Swim-Safe Facilities (ICBC) project. This initiative aims to expand childcare centers for drowning prevention from 2,500 to 8,000 sites, benefiting 200,000 children. The success underscores the importance of multi-sectoral partnerships aligned with government priorities.

Implications: The model's success in Bangladesh suggests potential for replication in other LMICs. Additional partnerships and contributions further strengthen the community-based approach and service integration.

Conclusions: Scaling up drowning prevention interventions in Bangladesh highlights the effectiveness of evidence-based strategies and the power of collaborative partnerships in achieving sustainable solutions for child safety."

Safety Culture, It’s not what you think

The workshop aims to explore the concept of safety culture, how it is defined, how it is researched and how it is achieved.

Safety Culture, initially explored after the Chernobyl disaster, remains a complex and debated concept. Definitions vary widely, often viewed through Western organizational perspectives. Safety and its perception also vary depending on cultural and individual perspectives. While reducing injuries can enhance perceived safety, this perception can lead to complacency and increased risk. Researching, promoting, and implementing such concepts can be challenging due to their elusive nature. Hidden risk factors, known as "blind spots," contribute to injury events at personal, organizational, and societal levels. Addressing these factors and challenging faulty risk perceptions may pave the way toward a safer culture.

A Workshop on Implementation Science, Led by David Peiris, Chief Scientist, The George Institute for Global Health

Program Description: The Implementation Science workshop aims to develop your skills, knowledge, and understanding in applying critical evidence and research in the program and build practices for implementing informed changes within health.

The Workshop shall take place on 1st September 2024 from 10:00 am to 1:30 p.m. IST.

Workshop Guidelines: Implementation research is highly practical and is best understood with some real-life case studies. In preparation for our upcoming workshop, we would like you to provide a brief abstract (maximum 1 page, not mandatory to register for the Workshop) of an implementation project that you have been working on and/or that you would like to work on in the future.

We are interested in projects that are still at the planning stage through to completed projects. We are also keen to hear from everyone (from beginner to expert) so that we can use the workshop to collectively build our knowledge on this topic.

Please use the following questions to develop your summary with just a few sentences for each answer.

1. What is the brief title of your project, your name, and your institution?

2. What is the implementation problem that your project is seeking to address?

(e.g. limited use of guideline-recommended health care for a particular health condition; low use of programs to reduce risk factors for chronic disease; limited confidence by the community in the quality of health care services available

3. How big is the problem? (based on literature or your past research)

4. Have you undertaken any kind of problem analysis to identify the barriers and enablers to overcoming the problem? If so, what were the major findings? (e.g. out-of-pocket costs for medicines are high or lifestyle programs to reduce the risk of hypertension are not available where the most affected people live)

5. Have you used any theories or frameworks in your approach to understanding the problem or in developing proposed solutions?

6. What implementation strategies are you considering/ have you used to overcome the problem? (e.g. pilot study of a low-cost combination pill or use of local peer support programs to help people to increase physical activity)

7. What research methods have you/ will you use to evaluate these strategies? (e.g. pilot RCT, formative qualitative study) Depending on the stage of your project you may not have definite answers to all these questions and that is fine. So please just answer what is relevant to your circumstances and/or outline what is your current thinking.

Outcomes and Learnings: The workshop will equip you with a robust toolkit to approach implementation challenges with a strategic mindset. It will also help anyone interested in learning more about how to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine healthcare and public healthcare and public health settings to improve the impact of population health.

Equity in the Conduct of Research - What has been done and what could be done?

Workshop Description:

This workshop aims to discuss the need for embedding equity-oriented practices consciously and deliberately into the research process and strengthening the capacity for individual reflexivity among participants. The George Institute for Global Health (TGI) initiated an effort to closely study the equitable conduct of research and developed the 8quity toolkit as a guideline for researchers to deliberate. The 8quity toolkit was developed to enable researchers to reflect on equity integration in their research projects and introspect on how positionalities/research and organizational practices may perpetuate or be reformed to reduce inequities. The George Institute for Global Health further developed five case studies using the 8quity lens to understand practical challenges and opportunities and offer recommendations to better conduct research.

Through case studies, scenarios, and group interactions, we hope to engage participants in nuanced discussions while co-creating a manifesto on equity integration. We also hope to enable participants to advocate for research praxes and ethics that ensure a focus on equity in ongoing and future research projects. We envision this session to be a space where researchers can reflect on their own experiences with equity integration while building a community of practice that is focused on equity and decolonisation of global health research.

Phase 1: We will conduct introductions and an icebreaking session for all participants. We will also outline our expectations from the session. We will also introduce the participants to concepts based on equity, as well as our work in equity and the results. (30 mins)

Phase 2: Participants will first be divided into one of the three groups (which will be designated What, Who, and How, with two facilitators each from the team). In each group, concurrent exercises will be carried out by participants.  Participants will have chances to reflect and ask questions. The suggestions will be compiled by a designated person and key recommendations will be posted on the board using post-its.

Phase 3: Participants from each group will present questions, suggestions, and reflections from the entire exercise, leaving the floor open for other participants to engage and contribute. (30-45 mins)

Phase 4: We will determine the next steps which may include collaboration on a manuscript, co-creation of a “manifesto” and guide on equity integration in research, and even charting out considerations for the participants as they reflect on equity in research methods and the decolonisation of global health research. (15-20 mins)

The workshop shall take place on 31 st August from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the stages and dimensions of equity integration in research
• Describe examples of bottlenecks and enablers in enhancing equity in research at individual and organisational levels
• Participate in a growing community of practice focusing on equity in research methods and decolonisation of global health research

What outputs will the session generate with participants and the wider public health community?

Based on participant response and the robustness of the session, outputs may include

• A commentary publication for peer-reviewed journals
• A manifesto for equity integration in research with a do’s and don'ts list will be co- created by participants and released in the form of a blog for wider consumption.
• Tools that are being generated under the 8quity project will also be disseminated in the form of a toolkit that will be made available online. In addition to this, membership will be invited for the “global friends of the Health Equity Network of India (HENI)” to serve as a platform for further resource-sharing and collaboration.
