      mJustice: Preliminary Development of a Mobile App for Medical-Forensic Documentation of Sexual Violence in Low-Resource Environments and Conflict Zones

      The MediCapt mobile app has promise for clinicians to capture medical and forensic evidence of sexual violence and securely transmit the data to legal authorities for potential use in prosecution. We believe this application broadens the traditional scope of mHealth to collecting evidence, and thus name it mJustice.

      American Mock World Health Organization: An Innovative Model for Student Engagement in Global Health Policy
      Mia Lei, Neha Acharya, Edith Kwok Man Lee, Emma Catherine Holcomb and Veronica Kapoor
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2017, 5(1):164-174; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00138

      The American Mock World Health Organization (AMWHO) provides a platform for students to apply their knowledge of global health policy through simulations of the World Health Assembly (WHA). This model engages and empowers future global leaders in health policy while sharpening their skills in diplomacy, public speaking, and conflict resolution. The major theme for the AMWHO 2015 was Universal Health Coverage, reflecting what the WHA had discussed in preceding months.

      RAHI–SATHI Indo-U.S. Collaboration: The Evolution of a Trainee-Led Twinning Model in Global Health Into a Multidisciplinary Collaborative Program

      RAHI–SATHI presents an innovative twinning model of global health academic partnership, resulting in a number of successful research activities, that features trainees or students as the driving force, complemented by strategic institutional support from both sides of the partnership. Others can promote similar student-led initiatives by: (1) accepting an expanded role for trainees in global health programs, (2) creating structured research and program opportunities for trainees, (3) developing a network of faculty and trainees interested in global health, (4) sharing extramural global health funding opportunities with faculty and trainees, and (5) offering seed funding.

      Quality of Care in Performance-Based Financing: How It Is Incorporated in 32 Programs Across 28 Countries
      Jessica Gergen, Erik Josephson, Martha Coe, Samantha Ski, Supriya Madhavan and Sebastian Bauhoff
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2017, 5(1):90-107; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00239

      Structural aspects of quality such as equipment and infrastructure were the most frequently measured, with some measurement of processes of clinical care. Further examination is warranted to assess whether variations in how quality of care is incorporated into performance-based financing programs lead to differential effects.

      Community Health Workers as Social Marketers of Injectable Contraceptives: A Case Study from Ethiopia
      Karen Weidert, Amanuel Gessessew, Suzanne Bell, Hagos Godefay and Ndola Prata
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2017, 5(1):44-56; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00344

      Volunteer community health workers (CHWs) administered injectable contraceptives to women in the community for a small fee while providing counseling and referrals for other methods. Over nearly 3 years, more than 600 CHWs provided an estimated 15,410 injections. The model has the potential to improve sustainability of community-based distribution programs by incorporating social marketing principles to partially recover commodity costs and compensate CHWs.

      Women's Limited Choice and Availability of Modern Contraception at Retail Outlets and Public-Sector Facilities in Luanda, Angola, 2012–2015

      Despite high rates of unintended pregnancy, access to a wide range of contraceptive methods, especially injectables and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), is severely limited in both public and private facilities. Knowledge of contraceptive choices is likewise limited, yet a substantial proportion of women are not using their preferred method among the methods they know of.

      “New Users” Are Confusing Our Counting: Reaching Consensus on How to Measure “Additional Users” of Family Planning
      Aisha Dasgupta, Michelle Weinberger, Ben Bellows and Win Brown
      Global Health: Science and Practice March 2017, 5(1):6-14; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00328

      FP2020's overarching goal is framed around the new metric of “additional users.” This measure inherently captures population-level change but has been conflated with other ambiguous metrics, such as “new users.” Therefore, we propose a standard set of terms to provide more consistent measurement. Although commonly used service-level metrics cannot be directly compared to the population-level metric of additional users, we describe 2 modeling approaches that can allow service-level data to inform estimates of additional users.
