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?

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.

MarxGlobal 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.

- Open AccessIdentifying the High-Risk Fetus in the Low-Risk Mother Using Fetal Doppler ScreeningUte Feucht, Tsakane Hlongwane, Valerie Vannevel, Helen Mulol, Tanita Botha and Robert PattinsonGlobal 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.

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.

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.

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.
