- Open AccessContinuous Community Engagement Is Needed to Improve Adherence to Ebola Response Activities and Survivorship During Ebola OutbreaksGnakub Norbert Soke, Peter Fonjungo, Gisele Mbuyi, Richard Luce, John Klena, Mary Choi, John Kombe, Gerry Makaya, Francis Mbuyi, Henriette Bulambo, Mathias Mossoko, Celestin Mwanzembe, Bienvenu Ikomo, Pierre Adikey, Joel Montgomery, Trevor Shoemaker, Placide Mbala, Giulia Earle-Richardson, Dieudonne Mwamba and Jean-Jacques Muyembe TamfumGlobal Health: Science and Practice August 2024, 12(4):e2300006; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-23-00006
Engaging communities in Ebola preparedness activities between Ebola outbreaks can not only improve community adherence to response interventions but also potentially help to improve survivorship in these communities during future Ebola outbreaks.

- Open AccessIndicators and Implementation Guidance to Advance Value-Based HIV Care Through People-Centered MetricsEmily Harris, Sameera Ali, Josephine Mungurere-Baker, Atlang Mompe, Chintan Maru, Balkrishna Korgaonkar, Shipra Srihari and Yordanos MollaGlobal Health: Science and Practice August 2024, 12(4):e2300220; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-23-00220
We argue that validating person-centered outcome metrics and integrating them into HIV programs may improve patient’s quality of life and health outcomes by informing the provider-client relationship, promoting integrated service delivery at the program level, and influencing policy and budget allocations at the population level.

- Open AccessInterventions to Address the Health and Well-Being of Married Adolescents: A Systematic ReviewManahil Siddiqi, Margaret E. Greene, Alexandra Stoppel and Charles AllegarGlobal Health: Science and Practice August 2024, 12(4):e2300425; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-23-00425
This review concludes that little research and programmatic attention is paid to the needs and vulnerabilities of married girls as if it were too late to reach them, and limited effort is made to address relationship dynamics and other conditions within marriage other than sexual and reproductive health.

Large-scale implementation of brief interventions to address behavioral risk factors of noncommunicable diseases in primary care health settings in Uzbekistan is limited by a lack of human resources, a supportive system, and clear incentives for clinicians.

- Open AccessAn Oxygen Supply Is Not Enough: A Qualitative Analysis of a Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Plant Program in Ethiopian HospitalsVictoria Smith, Alana Changoor, Sarah Rummage, Haileab Fekadu Wolde, Ejigu Gebeye Zeleke, Getahun Mekonnen Belay, David Barash, James Stunkel and Cheri ReynoldsGlobal Health: Science and Practice August 2024, 12(4):e2300515; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-23-00515
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen systems are more complicated than oxygen concentrators but can generate a much greater volume of medical oxygen and serve a network of hospitals, increasing regional supply. Direct feedback from hospital workers collected during the COVID-19 pandemic provided strong validation and reinforcement of the need for new oxygen supplies to be accompanied by investments in transportation, clinical and technical training, and provision of equipment and supplies.
