    Thematic Analysis and Mapping of Reproductive Empowerment Scales: A Tool for Family Planning Self-Care Programming and Research
    Holly M. Burke and Reana Thomas
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100794; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00794

    Understanding the relationship between self-care and reproductive empowerment is necessary to improve family planning self-care interventions. We offer a thematic analysis of 5 validated scales measuring reproductive empowerment-related concepts that could be used by self-care family planning programmers and researchers.

    “Nothing for Us Without Us”: An Evaluation of Patient Engagement in an HIV Care Improvement Collaborative in the Caribbean
    Shay Bluemer-Miroite, Katy Potter, Elizabeth Blanton, Georgia Simmonds, Conrad Mitchell, Kenyatta Barnaby, Karen Askov Zeribi, Dale Babb, Nicola Skyers, Gabrielle O'Malley and Clive Anderson
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100390; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00390

    This evaluation suggests that it is both possible and valuable to include patients as partners in quality improvement efforts, especially when resources must be prioritized for the highest impact efforts. Patient engagement in the improvement process is particularly powerful when addressing illnesses that may be stigmatized such as HIV.

    Where Women Access Contraception in 36 Low- and Middle-Income Countries and Why It Matters
    Sarah E. K. Bradley and Tess Shiras
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100525; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00525

    The public and private sectors are both important sources of modern contraception in nearly every low- and middle-income country studied and across sociodemographic groups. Catalyzing cross-sectoral collaboration and leveraging the potential of both sectors are critical as countries work to expand access to modern contraception and meet women's reproductive intentions.

    Joseph Musaazi, Apophia Namageyo-Funa, Victoria M. Carter, Rosalind J. Carter, Mohammed Lamorde, Rose Apondi, Tabley Bakyaita, Amy L. Boore, Vance R. Brown, Jaco Homsy, Joanita Kigozi, Aybüke Koyuncu, Maria Sarah Nabaggala, Vivian Nakate, Emmanuel Nkurunziza, Daniel F. Stowell, Richard Walwema, Apollo Olowo and Mohamed F. Jalloh
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100661; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00661

    Targeted risk communication and community engagement strategies to raise Ebola virus disease awareness and knowledge, particularly in setting where risk of infection is perceived to be low, may not be sufficient to motivate people to adopt protective behaviors and prevention practices.

    The Know-Do Gap: Understanding and Improving Service Quality Among Pharmacies Providing Injectable Contraceptives Through a Mystery Client Study in Nepal
    Sujan Karki, Margaret Chappell, Ben Johns and Sarah E.K. Bradley
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100657; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00657

    Private pharmacists in Nepal CRS Company's Sangini network provided quality counseling on injectable contraceptives to mystery clients, suggesting that pharmacists can successfully expand their family planning offerings and equip clients with the information needed to select an appropriate method of their choice.

    Behavioral Determinants of Routine Health Information System Data Use in Senegal: A Qualitative Inquiry Based on the Integrated Behavioral Model
    Pierre Muhoza, Haneefa Saleem, Adama Faye, Roger Tine, Abdoulaye Diaw, Almamy Malick Kante, Andrea Ruff and Melissa A. Marx
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100686; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00686

    Although behavioral factors are thought to be important barriers to routine data use, they remain understudied particularly in low-income country settings. We show that the integrated behavior model can be a valuable theoretical framework for targeted communication strategies and capacity-building interventions aimed at promoting a culture of data use.

    Establishing a Standardized Surveillance System for Health Care-Associated Infections in Vietnam
    Daniella Coker, Ha Thi Kim Phuong, Lan Thi Phong Nguyen, Tran Ninh, Neil Gupta, Tran Thi Thu Ha, Nguyen Tuan Truong, Hoang Van Thanh, Amber Vasquez, Hien Thi Thu Bui and Paul Malpiedi
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100284; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00284

    Standardized surveillance for health care-associated infections (HAI) is critical for HAI prevention, yet standardized implementation across low- and middle-income countries is limited. With the support of partners, the Vietnam Ministry of Health implemented standardized HAI surveillance in 6 hospitals, and in doing so, identified 5 key elements for program success.

    Applying the iDARE Methodology in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania to Improve Health Outcomes During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    Amanda Ottosson, Joyce Draru, Luseka Mwanzi, Stella Kasindi Mwita, Sara Pappa, Krista Odom and Taroub Harb Faramand
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100623; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00623

    The iDARE methodology was implemented in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania during the COVID-19 pandemic to help build the capacity of local governments, facilities, and communities to identify, design, and implement local solutions to health problems. These solutions can be adapted and applied in any context with low-cost implications.

    Identifying the High-Risk Fetus in the Low-Risk Mother Using Fetal Doppler Screening
    Ute Feucht, Tsakane Hlongwane, Valerie Vannevel, Helen Mulol, Tanita Botha and Robert Pattinson
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100692; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00692

    Continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery offers an inexpensive and scalable method of detecting undiagnosed fetal growth restriction. Using Doppler to screen low-risk pregnancies in low- and middle-income countries identifies fetuses at risk of stillbirth and, when managed appropriately, results in a step change reduction in the stillbirth rate.

    Early Lessons From Ethiopia in Establishing a Data Triangulation Process to Analyze Immunization Program and Supply Data for Decision Making
    Adriana Almiñana, Amare Bayeh, Daniel Girma, Natasha Kanagat, Lisa Oot, Wendy Prosser, Belayneh Dagnew and Disha Ali
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100719; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00719

    Health managers in Ethiopia used a data triangulation tool and process to prompt decision making and meaningful actions to improve immunization services. Immunization managers interested in incorporating data triangulation analyses into their current data review systems will need to determine practical, feasible means for operationalization, preferably through a collaborative, iterative process with users.

    Development of a Modular and Equitable Surgical Simulator
    Yihan Lin, Jason J. Han, John J. Kelly, Anna K. Gergen and Emily Downs
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100744; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00744

    Current trends in surgical simulation favor high-fidelity, costly models that are often limited to high-income academic centers. The GlobalSurgBox overcomes many of the barriers to routine implementation and use of surgical simulators in low-income countries by circumventing the often prohibitive financial, time, and personnel investments required of current simulation prototypes.
