Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCD risks in adults living in urban communities in Nepal and Bangladesh Other
Conditions
Interventions
Community mobilisation through Participatory Learning and Action (PLA)? is a specific approach to community interventions that has four phases: phase 1 focuses on problem identification, whereby parti
phase 2 involves the collective design of strategies that communities can implement to address the problems and health threats identified in phase 1
during phase 3, the communities implement these strategies
in phase 4 communities reflect on and evaluate the success of the strategies they have implemented. This is done at a community grassroots level.

| The socio-contextual barriers and enablers to NCD risk minimisation, perceptions of NCD risk, lived experience of NCDs among the population, and prioritised risks and intervention responses, measured using qualitative methods at multiple times before (2025), during (2026) and after the intervention (2027);Physical activity measured using wrist-worn accelerometers at multiple times before (-12, -8, -4 months) and during the intervention (0, 4, 8, 12 months) among a cohort of women aged 40 years+ living in the study area;Prevalence of diabetes measured using a point-of-care glucometer at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Prevalence of hypertension measured using digital BP monitor at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Overweight/obesity measured using a digital scale and measuring tape/stadiometer at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Depression measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) screening tool at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Anxiety measured using the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7) screening tool at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Risk factor prevalence (incl. inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption; inadequate physical activity; tobacco use; sedentary behaviour; NCD protect/risk scores) measured using self-reports in the survey questionnaire at pre-intervention (2025) and post-intervention (2027) timepoints in random samples of adults aged 18 years and over living in the study areas;Quality of li | — |
