Incidence of low birth weight in rural Ballabgarh, Haryana.

This study aimed to assess the magnitude of low birth weight (LBW) in rural Ballabgarh Haryana in northern India. The feasibility of involving the multipurpose health workers in measurement of birth weight as a part of their routine activity was also tested. Data were collected from approximately 10000 people in two subcenter villages and two non-subcenter villages under the Primary Health Centers Dayalpur. Overall a low incidence (8.8%) LBW was reported from the study area. This could be due to chance or bias although the sample size of the study was adequate to estimate an incidence of 10% with an absolute precision of 2.5% at 5% significance level. Unfortunately no community-based data on birth weights is available to know whether this low incidence of LBW reflects an improvement or continuation from the past. However the study demonstrated the feasibility of measuring birth weight using female multipurpose workers.
