      Family Planning Counseling in Your Pocket: A Mobile Job Aid for Community Health Workers in Tanzania
      Smisha Agarwal, Christine Lasway, Kelly L’Engle, Rick Homan, Erica Layer, Steve Ollis, Rebecca Braun, Lucy Silas, Anna Mwakibete and Mustafa Kudrati
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):300-310; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-15-00393

      Using mobile job aids can help CHWs deliver integrated counseling on family planning and HIV/STI screening by following a step-by-step service delivery algorithm. Lessons learned during the pilot led to the development of additional features during scale-up to exploit the other major advantages that mHealth offers including:

      • Better supervision of health workers and accountability for their performance

      • Improved communication between supervisors and workers

      • Access to real-time data and reports to support quality improvement

      Success Providing Postpartum Intrauterine Devices in Private-Sector Health Care Facilities in Nigeria: Factors Associated With Uptake
      George IE Eluwa, Ronke Atamewalen, Kingsley Odogwu and Babatunde Ahonsi
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):276-283; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00072

      41% of women delivering in the social franchise private facilities chose the postpartum IUD. Factors associated with acceptance included lower education, higher parity, and being single. Scale-up of postpartum IUD services in both public and private facilities has the potential to significantly increase use of long-acting reversible contraception in Nigeria.

      Fertility Awareness Methods Are Not Modern Contraceptives: Defining Contraception to Reflect Our Priorities
      Kirsten Austad, Anita Chary, Alejandra Colom, Rodrigo Barillas, Danessa Luna, Cecilia Menjívar, Brent Metz, Amy Petrocy, Anne Ruch and Peter Rohloff
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):342-345; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00044

      A recent article in GHSP calls for classifying fertility awareness methods as “modern contraceptives” despite their inferiority. We believe in a rights-based approach, which considers the real-world conditions that many women face, including constrained sexual agency and low baseline reproductive health literacy. We must demonstrate true commitment to increasing access to the most effective and reliable contraceptive methods.

      Feasibility and Effectiveness of mHealth for Mobilizing Households for Indoor Residual Spraying to Prevent Malaria: A Case Study in Mali
      Keith Mangam, Elana Fiekowsky, Moussa Bagayoko, Laura Norris, Allison Belemvire, Rebecca Longhany, Christen Fornadel and Kristen George
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):222-237; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-15-00381

      Sending voice and/or text messages to mobilize households for spraying was more costly per structure and less effective at preparing structures than traditional door-to-door mobilization approaches supplemented with radio and town hall announcements. Challenges included:

      • Lack of familiarity with mobile phones and with public health mobile messaging

      • Lack of face-to-face communication with mobilizers, making it easier to ignore mobilization messages and preventing trust-building

      • Low literacy levels

      • Gender differentials in access to mobile phones

      Improved Childhood Diarrhea Treatment Practices in Ghana: A Pre-Post Evaluation of a Comprehensive Private-Sector Program
      Marianne El-Khoury, Kathryn Banke and Phoebe Sloane
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):264-275; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00021

      From 2011 to 2015, a diarrhea management program in Ghana targeting pharmaceutical suppliers, private-sector providers, and caregivers successfully increased caregiver use of oral rehydration salts (ORS) with zinc to treat diarrhea in children under 5, from 0.8% to 29.2%, and reduced antibiotic use (which is generally inappropriate for treatment of non-bloody diarrhea) from 66.2% to 38.2%.

      A Convenient Truth: Cost of Medications Need Not Be a Barrier to Hepatitis B Treatment
      Matthew Barnhart
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2016, 4(2):186-190; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00128

      Drugs that are inexpensive to manufacture and simple to administer greatly expand the potential to help tens of millions of people who need treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Key program implementation challenges include identifying who would benefit from antiviral medication and ensuring long-term and consistent treatment to people who feel well. The best opportunities are where health systems are advanced enough to effectively address these challenges and in settings where HIV service platforms can be leveraged. Research, innovation, and collaboration are critical to implement services most efficiently and to realize economies of scale to drive down costs of health care services, drugs, and diagnostics.
