      Integrating family planning into postpartum care through modern quality improvement: experience from Afghanistan
      Youssef Tawfik, Mirwais Rahimzai, Malalah Ahmadzai, Phyllis Annie Clark and Evelyn Kamgang
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):226-233; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00166

      Modern quality improvement approaches enabled hospital staff to analyze barriers and identify solutions for “how” to integrate family planning into postpartum care. Private spaces for postpartum family planning (PPFP) counseling, along with involving husbands and mothers-in-law in counseling, substantially increased the percentage of women receiving PPFP counseling and their preferred method before discharge. Self-reported pregnancy was also significantly lower up to 18 months post-discharge compared with women receiving routine services.

      Preferences for a potential longer-acting injectable contraceptive: perspectives from women, providers, and policy makers in Kenya and Rwanda
      Elizabeth E Tolley, Kevin McKenna, Caroline Mackenzie, Fidele Ngabo, Emmanuel Munyambanza, Jennet Arcara, Kate H Rademacher and Anja Lendvay
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):182-194; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00147

      High effectiveness, predictable return to fertility, and a single, prepackaged, disposable delivery system ranked high. Side effects were generally acceptable to women if they did not last long or disrupt daily activities. Cost was considered important for providers but not so much for most potential users.

      Urban health: it's time to get moving!
      Victor K Barbiero
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):139-144; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00071

      The global health community should mainstream urban health and implement urban health programs to address the triple health burden of communicable diseases, noncommunicable diseases, and injuries in low- and middle-income countries.

      Informed push distribution of contraceptives in Senegal reduces stockouts and improves quality of family planning services
      Bocar Mamadou Daff, Cheikh Seck, Hassan Belkhayat and Perri Sutton
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):245-252; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00171

      Dedicated logisticians restocked contraceptives monthly at facilities to maintain defined minimum stock levels, freeing up clinic staff. High stockout rates were virtually eliminated. Also, quality and timely data on contraceptives distributed allowed for better program management.

    1. Open Access
      Medical barriers to emergency contraception: a cross-sectional survey of doctors in North India
      M E Khan, Anvita Dixit, Isha Bhatnagar and Martha Brady
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):210-218; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00139

      Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are extremely safe and do not interfere with implantation. Yet many surveyed physicians in India did not know that there are no contraindications to using ECPs, and many had negative attitudes about ECP users. Most were against having ECPs available over-the-counter and wanted to impose age restrictions. Efforts are needed to address such misconceptions that might lead to limiting ECP availability.

      Evaluation of community-based interventions to improve TB case detection in a rural district of Tanzania
      Charlotte Colvin, Jackson Mugyabuso, Godwin Munuo, John Lyimo, Eyal Oren, Zahra Mkomwa, Mohammed Makame, Atuswege Mwangomale, Vishnu Mahamba, Lisa Mueller and D'Arcy Richardson
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):219-225; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00026

      Enlisting traditional healers and pharmacists to improve TB detection contributed 38% to 70% of new smear-positive case notifications per quarter in a rural district of Tanzania.

      The quality–coverage gap in antenatal care: toward better measurement of effective coverage
      Stephen Hodgins and Alexis D'Agostino
      Global Health: Science and Practice May 2014, 2(2):173-181; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-13-00176

      The proportion of pregnant women receiving 4 or more antenatal care (ANC) visits has no necessary relationship with the actual content of those visits. We propose a simple alternative to measure program performance that aggregates key services that are common across countries and measured in Demographic and Health Surveys, such as blood pressure measurement, tetanus toxoid vaccination, first ANC visit before 4 months gestation, urine testing, counseling about pregnancy danger signs, and iron–folate supplementation.
