      Female Health Workers at the Doorstep: A Pilot of Community-Based Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Service Delivery in Northern Nigeria
      Charles A Uzondu, Henry V Doctor, Sally E Findley, Godwin Y Afenyadu and Alastair Ager
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):97-108; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00117

      Deployment of resident female Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) to a remote rural community led to major and sustained increases in service utilization, including antenatal care and facility-based deliveries. Key components to success: (1) providing an additional rural residence allowance to help recruit and retain CHEWs; (2) posting the female CHEWs in pairs to avoid isolation and provide mutual support; (3) ensuring supplies and transportation means for home visits; and (4) allowing CHEWs to perform deliveries.

      Engaging Communities With a Simple Tool to Help Increase Immunization Coverage
      Manish Jain, Gunjan Taneja, Ruhul Amin, Robert Steinglass and Michael Favin
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):117-125; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00180

      Use of a simple, publicly placed tool that monitors vaccination coverage in a community has potential to broaden program coverage by keeping both the community and the health system informed about every infant's vaccination status.

      ARVs: The Next Generation. Going Boldly Together to New Frontiers of HIV Treatment
      Matthew Barnhart and James D Shelton
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):1-11; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00243

      New antiretrovirals (ARVs), particularly the potentially “game-changing” ARV dolutegravir, offer major potential to meet the compelling need for simpler and better HIV treatment for tens of millions of people in the coming decade. Advantages include substantially lower manufacturing cost, fewer side effects, and less risk of resistance. But key obstacles must be addressed in order to develop and introduce new ARVs in specific combinations optimized for the needs of low- and middle-income countries. Strong leadership will be essential from the global health community to nurture more focused collaboration between the private and public sectors.

      A False Dichotomy: RCTs and Their Contributions to Evidence-Based Public Health
      Laurel E Hatt, Minki Chatterji, Leslie Miles, Alison B Comfort, Benjamin W Bellows and Francis O Okello
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):138-140; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00245

      Global public health should rely on those research methods that best answer the pressing questions at hand. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and other rigorous impact evaluation methods have a critical role to play in public health.

      A Resource Planning Analysis of District Hospital Surgical Services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
      Melanie Sion, Dheepa Rajan, Hyppolite Kalambay, Jean-Pierre Lokonga, Joseph Bulakali, Mathias Mossoko, Dieudonne Kwete, Gerard Schmets, Edward Kelley, Tarcisse Elongo, Luis Sambo and Meena Cherian
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):56-70; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00165

      District hospitals in the DRC, on average, could not provide 21% of lifesaving surgical interventions due to deficiencies in basic infrastructure and essential surgical equipment and supplies. Surgery's important health impact and proportionally low service delivery budget argue for greater emphasis on surgical interventions, including for obstetric care.

      Successful Proof of Concept of Family Planning and Immunization Integration in Liberia
      Chelsea M Cooper, Rebecca Fields, Corinne I Mazzeo, Nyapu Taylor, Anne Pfitzer, Mary Momolu and Cuallau Jabbeh-Howe
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2015, 3(1):71-84; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-14-00156

      Mobilizing vaccinators to provide mothers key family planning information and referrals to co-located, same-day family planning services was feasible in resource-limited areas of Liberia, leading to substantial increases in contraceptive use. Conversely, impact on immunization rates was less clear, but at a minimum there was no decrease in doses administered.
