Snakebite Prevention and First Aid Knowledge Survey Data from Rural Bangladesh

Survey data from a quasi-experimental study evaluating a community engagement and health literacy intervention for snakebite prevention in rural Bangladesh. The dataset includes baseline and endline survey results measuring changes in preventive knowledge, first aid knowledge, and practices. It was authored by M. A. Faiz and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the impact of community engagement on health knowledge based on the described intervention methodology.
• Analyzing changes in snakebite incidence rates between intervention and control areas.
• Modeling factors associated with improved first aid practices based on survey outcomes.
• Comparing pre- and post-intervention knowledge scores for preventive measures and first aid.

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 43.4% reduction in snakebite incidence in the intervention area, providing a concrete measure of intervention effectiveness.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• The 11.0 MB file size suggests a relatively small dataset.
