Assessment of a mobile training programme on nutrition for Bangladesh rural development board (BRDB) women's programme in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT

About half of the total population of the country are women and without their active participation no development programme can be achieved. This study involved a total number of 690 trainees from 23 upazilas of different districts in Bangladesh. The results obtained from both pre and post tests were compared and analyzed to find out the impact of the mobile training programme on nutrition. The mean age of the trainees was 29.54. The mean number of children per trainee was 3.73 and the mean income was close to Taka 1048.26. Analysis of the results regarding knowledge of the training about nutrition at pre and post training stages reveal that at post training stage they were more aware of the importance of nutrition. The difference in knowledge level at pre and post training stages was statistically significant (P less than .001).
