  1. Amin, Ruhul

    1. Open Access
      Factors limiting immunization coverage in urban Dili, Timor-Leste
      Ruhul Amin, Telma Joana Corte Real De Oliveira, Mateus Da Cunha, Tanya Wells Brown, Michael Favin and Kelli Cappelier
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):417-427; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00115

      Simple access to immunization services does not necessarily translate into uptake of services. In Timor-Leste, key determinants of the success of vaccination efforts are health workers' attitudes, the manner in which patients are treated, aspects of service organization, adequate supply of vaccines, and caregivers' basic knowledge about immunization.

  2. Andersen, Kathryn

    1. Open Access
      Early pregnancy detection by female community health volunteers in Nepal facilitated referral for appropriate reproductive health services
      Kathryn Andersen, Anuja Singh, Meena Kumari Shrestha, Mukta Shah, Erin Pearson and Leila Hessini
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):372-381; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-12-00026

      Trained female community health volunteers provided low-cost urine pregnancy tests in their communities, leading to counseling and appropriate referrals for antenatal care, family planning, or comprehensive abortion care.

  3. Archer, Linda H

    1. Open Access
      Simulated clients reveal factors that may limit contraceptive use in Kisumu, Kenya
      Katherine Tumlinson, Ilene S Speizer, Linda H Archer and Frieda Behets
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):407-416; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00075

      While the quality of family planning service delivery was often good, clients reported barriers including: excessively long waiting times, provider absences, informal fees, inappropriate pregnancy tests, misinformation, and provider disrespect. Improved monitoring and oversight of facility practices and examination of provider needs and motivations may increase quality of service.

  4. Asare, Gloria

    1. Open Access
      Does free pregnancy testing reduce service denial in family planning clinics? A cluster-randomized experiment in Zambia and Ghana
      John Stanback, Gwyneth Vance, Gloria Asare, Prisca Kasonde, Beatrice Kafulubiti, Mario Chen and Barbara Janowitz
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):382-388; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00011

      Pregnancy tests, which cost very little (∼US$0.10) and are often required for successful family planning service delivery, may reduce service denial, and should be available in all family planning clinics at no or minimal cost to clients.

  5. Ayoya, Mohamed Ag

    1. Open Access
      Child malnutrition in Haiti: progress despite disasters
      Mohamed Ag Ayoya, Rebecca Heidkamp, Ismael Ngnie–Teta, Joseline Marhone Pierre and Rebecca J Stoltzfus
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):389-396; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00069

      Despite a devastating earthquake and a major cholera outbreak in Haiti in 2010, surveys in 2006 and 2012 document marked reductions in child undernutrition. Intensive relief efforts in nutrition as well as synergies and improvements in various sectors before and after the earthquake were likely contributing factors.

  6. Barbiero, Victor K

    1. Open Access
      Fulfilling the PEPFAR mandate: a more equitable use of PEPFAR resources across global health
      Victor K Barbiero
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):289-293; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00137

      As PEPFAR moves beyond its “emergency stage,” it should now help support a more sustainable development mode, including an equitable platform for meeting a broad range of priority health needs, while continuing to pursue the goal of an AIDS-free generation.

  7. Bashir, Issak

    1. Open Access
      “A cup of tea with our CBD agent … ”: community provision of injectable contraceptives in Kenya is safe and feasible
      Alice Auma Olawo, Issak Bashir, Marsden Solomon, John Stanback, Baker Maggwa Ndugga and Isaac Malonza
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):308-315; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00040

      Community health workers can safely provide the injectable DMPA when appropriately trained and supervised. We also found a fivefold increase in contraceptive uptake—a finding that builds on evidence from other countries for supportive policy change.

  8. Behets, Frieda

    1. Open Access
      Simulated clients reveal factors that may limit contraceptive use in Kisumu, Kenya
      Katherine Tumlinson, Ilene S Speizer, Linda H Archer and Frieda Behets
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):407-416; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00075

      While the quality of family planning service delivery was often good, clients reported barriers including: excessively long waiting times, provider absences, informal fees, inappropriate pregnancy tests, misinformation, and provider disrespect. Improved monitoring and oversight of facility practices and examination of provider needs and motivations may increase quality of service.

  9. Bhatnagar, Aarushi

    1. Open Access
      As good as physicians: patient perceptions of physicians and non-physician clinicians in rural primary health centers in India
      Krishna D Rao, Elizabeth Stierman, Aarushi Bhatnagar, Garima Gupta and Abdul Gaffar
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):397-406; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00085

      Non-physician clinicians (NPCs), including both specially trained medical assistants and physicians trained in India systems of medicine, perform similarly to physicians in terms of patient satisfaction, trust, and perceived quality, thus supporting the use and scale up of NPCs in primary care.

  10. Blumenthal, Paul D

    1. Open Access
      Dedicated inserter facilitates immediate postpartum IUD insertion
      Paul D Blumenthal, Maxine Eber and Jyoti Vajpayee
      Global Health: Science and Practice November 2013, 1(3):428-429; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00151

      A specially designed inserter aims at facilitating IUD insertion within 10 minutes to 48 hours after delivery during the postpartum period when demand for, and health benefits of, contraception are high.
