      Primary objective of the study is to measure the impact of a comprehensive package of&#xD;
      interventions introduced by the Safe Motherhood Promotion and Newborn Survival project on&#xD;
      neonatal mortality in three Upazila of Chandpur district, Bangladesh&#xD;
    </textblock>
  </brief_summary>
  <detailed_description>
    <textblock>
      Burden: Globally around 6.3 million children under five years of age died in 2013, two third&#xD;
      of which occur in the low &amp; middle income countries. Bangladesh is one of the LMICs countries&#xD;
      with high burden of maternal and neonatal mortalities. In Bangladesh, there has been a&#xD;
      considerable progress in reduction of both child and maternal mortality in recent decades.&#xD;
      From 1994 to 2014 under-5 mortality rate has reduced from 133 to 46 per 1000 live births in&#xD;
      Bangladesh; however, within the same timeframe neonatal mortality declined from 52 to 28 per&#xD;
      1000 live births. This slow decrease in newborn deaths means that it now constitutes a&#xD;
      greater share of total under-5 deaths. At present, neonatal mortality accounts for 74% of&#xD;
      deaths in infants and 61% in children aged less than 5 years. Similarly, the country was able&#xD;
      to decline MMR by 70% between 1990 and 2013, from 574 to 170 per 100,000 live births, with an&#xD;
      annual reduction rate of 5.0%. Such statistics highlights the importance of focusing on&#xD;
      perinatal and early postnatal periods to prevent maternal and neonatal mortalities.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Knowledge gap: Safe motherhood promotion project (SMPP) was a five (5 yr) year pilot project,&#xD;
      launched in July 2006, by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) in collaboration with JICA. The&#xD;
      aim of the project was to improve the health status of pregnant and postpartum women and&#xD;
      neonates. SMPP implemented three linked activities i.e., advocacy at the central level,&#xD;
      strengthening of health facilities and empowerment of community. Evaluation of SMPP found&#xD;
      positive changes in UN process indicators on EmOC including met needs (up from 31% to 55%),&#xD;
      case fatality rate (&lt;0.1%) and skilled birth attendance rate (from 18% to 25%). The major&#xD;
      weakness of the previous assessment of SMPP were use of a before-after design without any&#xD;
      concurrent comparison area and the assessment lacked population based mortality estimates,&#xD;
      only measured hospital case fatality rate. Hence, there is lack of strong evidences regarding&#xD;
      the impact of the project.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Relevance: The proposed project is expected to provide essential evidences to the GOB and&#xD;
      other development partners with the help of stronger design and valid evaluation processes.&#xD;
      It would help not only in prioritizing, planning, and further scaling-up of SMPNS&#xD;
      interventions in other areas of Bangladesh but in informing other developing countries in&#xD;
      similar settings also.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Hypothesis: Safe Motherhood and Newborn Survival intervention package will reduce neonatal&#xD;
      mortality by 25%, in comparison to the routine services in Chandpur district, Bangladesh&#xD;
&#xD;
      Methods: A community-based, cluster-randomized design will be used to evaluate the&#xD;
      effectiveness of an integrated &quot;Safe Motherhood and Newborn Health Promotion Package&quot; in&#xD;
      Chandpur district, Bangladesh. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches will be employed&#xD;
      to address the primary and secondary objectives. Baseline, midterm and end of intervention&#xD;
      household survey will be conducted using validated structured questionnaire to assess the&#xD;
      coverage of maternal &amp; newborn health interventions. Health facility assessments surveys will&#xD;
      be conducted periodically to assess facility readiness and utilization of maternal and&#xD;
      neonatal health services in the participating health facilities. Additionally, relevant data&#xD;
      from routine Health Management Information System (HMIS) will be regularly collected and&#xD;
      extracted An ongoing investigating system will be in place at the health facilities to&#xD;
      identify and document maternal near miss cases.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Qualitative data will be collected for process documentation and in depth exploration of&#xD;
      implementation challenges and contextual factors. Social capitals will be measured both&#xD;
      quantitatively and qualitatively to assess the non health impact of the interventions.&#xD;
      Qualitative data collection methods will include stakeholders' meeting, focus group&#xD;
      discussions (FGD), periodic in-depth assessments, social mapping and other participatory&#xD;
      exercises.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Outcome measures/variables: The primary outcome measure for evaluation of SMPNS intervention&#xD;
      is reduction of neonatal mortality. In addition, changes in coverage and utilization of&#xD;
      maternal &amp; newborn health services, cost effectiveness of implementation of intervention will&#xD;
      also be measured.&#xD;

    <description>The intervention package consists of three components: facility, community and linkages between the community and health facilities. Facility based interventions will serve both the comparison and intervention arms. However, other two interventions will serve the intervention arm only. Specific interventions and approaches for the three components will be implemented within the MOH&amp;FW service delivery system to improve MNH practices in families and communities and to increase the use of MNH services from appropriate facilities/providers. The intervention package has been developed based on the experiences from SMPP in Narsingdi district and on the basis of consultations with the International Advisory Body (IAB) that included GoB, JICA, ICDDR,B, other experts and stakeholders.</description>

description: This will be assessed to evaluate the effect of the comprehensive package of interventions on health and care seeking behavior for neonates and women during antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period at baseline and end line survey on total population and during two mid line surveys in a sub set of population
measure: Cost effectiveness of implementing the interventions
time frame: Every six months for programme costs
description: Costs for improved neonatal health outcomes and related health services. This will be assessed by analyzing Costs per DALY averted, Costs per life-year gained; Costs per case of delivery by skilled attendance; Costs per case of essential neonatal care, Program cost, both start up and post implementation, Incremental health service costs for providing quality services, Out of pocket expenditure etc.
arm group label: Intervention
arm group type: Experimental
description: "'Safe motherhood and newborn health promotion package'" will be implemented in the intervention arm which comprise 15 randomly selected unions (lowest level of administrative unit).
arm group label: Comparison
arm group type: No Intervention
description: Another 15 union will be selected where no intervention will be implemented
intervention type: Other
intervention name: Safe motherhood and newborn health promotion package
description: The intervention package consists of three components: facility, community and linkages between the community and health facilities. Facility based interventions will serve both the comparison and intervention arms. However, other two interventions will serve the intervention arm only. Specific interventions and approaches for the three components will be implemented within the MOH&FW service delivery system to improve MNH practices in families and communities and to increase the use of MNH services from appropriate facilities/providers. The intervention package has been developed based on the experiences from SMPP in Narsingdi district and on the basis of consultations with the International Advisory Body (IAB) that included GoB, JICA, ICDDR,B, other experts and stakeholders.
