| Summary: | SUMMARY: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health concern with significant social and economic implications in terms of health care-needs, lost productivity and premature death. NCDs are thus a serious setback to our attainment of social, health and economic targets if no proper interventions are put in place. Realizing the need of timely interventions on Non-communicable disease, this interventional study had been planned to identify effective methods of preventing and controlling noncommunicable diseases with optimum use of locally available resources and local health care system. This report deals with baseline information of intervention and control districts. This cross-sectional baseline study was conducted on Ilam and Dhankuta districts which represent intervention and control districts respectively. In each district, VDCs were considered as clusters with a total of 1404 samples planned from 12 VDCs. A total of 13 households were selected from each cluster through systematic random sampling, and eligible participants of 15-69 years were selected from each household using a KISH table. The response rate for intervention and control district was 92.8% and 96.4% respectively making total of 1302 participants in intervention and 1361 participants in control district. The WHO STEPS version 3.1 was adopted with addition of knowledge and attitude questionnaire related with NCD in the data collection tool to assess baseline information. In both Ilam and Dhankuta district, majority of participants were female (Ilam-56.8%, Dhankuta-58.6%) and most of participants belonged to 45-69 years (Ilam-44.8%, Dhankuta-46.0%). Similarly, Disadvantage Janjatis represented the major share of research participants in each districts (Ilam-65.2%, Dhankuta-56.1%).
