Although South Sudan's vitamin A supplementation program has demonstrated success, vitamin A supplementation remains a critical public health need for young children. How can South Sudan best maintain high vitamin A supplementation coverage for the short to medium term while planning a more sustainable delivery approach for the longer term?

- Open AccessEarly Lessons From Ethiopia in Establishing a Data Triangulation Process to Analyze Immunization Program and Supply Data for Decision MakingAdriana Almiñana, Amare Bayeh, Daniel Girma, Natasha Kanagat, Lisa Oot, Wendy Prosser, Belayneh Dagnew and Disha AliGlobal 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.

- Open Access“Nothing for Us Without Us”: An Evaluation of Patient Engagement in an HIV Care Improvement Collaborative in the CaribbeanShay Bluemer-Miroite, Katy Potter, Elizabeth Blanton, Georgia Simmonds, Conrad Mitchell, Kenyatta Barnaby, Karen Askov Zeribi, Dale Babb, Nicola Skyers, Gabrielle O'Malley and Clive AndersonGlobal 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.

- Open AccessData to Action: A Mixed-Methods Study of Data Use Teams, Improved Availability of Contraceptives in Guinea, Indonesia, Kenya, and MyanmarAnn-Marie Yongho, Yasmin Chandani, Sarah Andersson, Ali Karim, Bethany Saad and Carmit KeddemGlobal Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100345; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00345
Information Mobilized for Performance Analysis and Continuous Transformation (IMPACT) Teams use a people-centered, data-driven approach to strengthen supply chains by fostering a continuous cycle of supply chain improvement. This study demonstrates that IMPACT Teams are an effective approach for improving contraceptive supply chain inventory management and availability.

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.
