Snakebite Prevention and First Aid Knowledge Survey Data from Rural Bangladesh

A 2026 quasi-experimental study by M. A. Faiz evaluates a community engagement intervention in two rural sub-districts of Bangladesh. The dataset includes baseline and endline survey results measuring changes in preventive knowledge, first aid knowledge, and practices related to snakebite. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the impact of community engagement on health outcomes based on the described intervention methodology.
• Analyzing changes in preventive knowledge and first aid practices based on the reported pre- and post-intervention survey results.
• Modeling the relationship between health literacy and snakebite incidence rates based on the reported data from intervention and control areas.

Strengths

• Includes specific outcome metrics such as knowledge improvement from 9.2% to 12% and first aid knowledge increase from 50% to 73%.
• Reports a significant reduction in snakebite incidence rate in the intervention area, from 294.4 to 166.5 per 100,000.
• The study design includes a control area for comparison, with incidence rates reported for both groups.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 877.7 KB size suggests a limited scope, potentially containing aggregated or summary-level data.
