    Pathways to Care for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and HIV/AIDS Comorbidities in Soweto, South Africa: An Ethnographic Study
    Edna N. Bosire, Shane A. Norris, Jane Goudge and Emily Mendenhall
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00104

    Patients with type 2 diabetes are referred to tertiary hospitals in Soweto although their care could be managed at primary health care clinics. Primary health care needs to be strengthened by addressing health systemic challenges to provide integrated care for comorbid type 2 diabetes and HIV/AIDS.

    Bugs in the Bed: Addressing the Contradictions of Embedded Science with Agile Implementation Research
    James F. Phillips, Bruce B. MacLeod and S. Patrick Kachur
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00169

    Implementation research often fails to have its intended impact on what programs actually do. Embedding research within target organizational systems is an effective response to this problem. We present case examples from Bangladesh, Ghana, and Tanzania that demonstrate challenges associated with embedded science. We propose “agile science” as a means of sustaining scientific rigor while simultaneously catalyzing evidence utilization.

    Health for the People: Past, Current, and Future Contributions of National Community Health Worker Programs to Achieving Global Health Goals
    Henry B. Perry and Stephen Hodgins
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00459

    National community health worker programs are at the dawn of a new era, given the growing recognition of their importance for achieving global health goals and for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is the time to provide them with the respect and funding that they need and deserve.

    Levels, Trends, and Inequalities in Using Institutional Delivery Services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Stratified Analysis by Facility Type
    Md. Mehedi Hasan, Ricardo J. Soares Magalhaes, Yaqoot Fatima, Saifuddin Ahmed and Abdullah A. Mamun
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00533

    Despite improvements in the use of institutional delivery services around the world, progress has not been uniform across low- and middle-income countries. Persistent and growing inequalities in the utilization of institutional delivery services warrant the attention of policy makers for further investments and policy reviews.

    Remote Interviewer Training for COVID-19 Data Collection: Challenges and Lessons Learned From 3 Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Shani Turke, Sarah Nehrling, Samuel Olanipekun Adebayo, Pierre Akilimali, Ivan Idiodi, Anthony Mwangi, Elizabeth Larson, Caroline Moreau and Philip Anglewicz
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00468

    Remote training of interviewers in low-resource settings can be an effective approach during the COVID-19 pandemic when data are critically needed and in-person learning is not possible. We demonstrate that remote interviewer training is possible when interviewers: have at least an intermittent Internet connection, have select physical materials available, and are experienced and part of a cohesive team.

    Global Access to Technology-Enhanced Medical Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Students in Narrowing the Gap
    Aleksander Dawidziuk, Michal Kawka, Bartosz Szyszka, Ignatius Wadunde and Aastha Ghimire
    Global Health: Science and Practice January 2021, https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00455

    Although some medical education institutions in high-income countries have the capacity to shift education to eLearning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions in low- and middle-income countries might struggle to fully implement it. We argue for medical students to advocate for national and international collaboration in adopting technology-enhanced learning globally.

About Global Health: Science and Practice

Global Health: Science and Practice (GHSP) is a no-fee, open access, peer-reviewed online journal aimed to improve health practice, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Our goal is to reach those who design, implement, manage, evaluate, and otherwise support health programs. We are especially interested in advancing knowledge on practical program implementation issues, with information on what programs entail and how they are implemented. GHSP is currently indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index, Scopus, EBSCO, CABI Global Health, and the USAID Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC). GHSP is made possible by the support of the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Knowledge SUCCESS (Strengthening Use, Capacity, Collaboration, Exchange, Synthesis, and Sharing) Project.
