The follow-up survey was undertaken in selected Village Development Committees (VDCs) in the districts of Baglung and Lalitpur. Initially the SUMATA initiative was targeted to rural populations; therefore the baseline situational analysis included only a rural sample. Given the political instability in Nepal in the ensuing period many SUMATA activities could be conducted only in and around district headquarters for security reasons and messages appropriate for urban audiences were developed. Accordingly urban municipalities were also covered in the follow-up survey sampling. However comparative analysis for this report has been restricted to data from rural areas of the aforementioned districts. Because the baseline situational analysis did not have a comparable urban sample only the rural samples in the two districts can be compared across the two time periods. The total sample size for the baseline situational analysis was 1194. The follow-up included 1208 respondents. In the follow-up survey the sample comprised currently pregnant women (CPW) women with a live birth in the past 3 months husbands family members (including mothers-in-law) health workers and community leaders. The baseline situational analysis covered the same categories of respondents with the exception of women with a live birth in the past 3 months who were not interviewed at that time. This report focuses on research findings related to currently pregnant married women married women with a live birth in the past 3 months husbands and family members. The profile of respondents in both of the surveys was similar in terms of age education ethnicity socio-economic classification and marital status. (excerpt)
