      Adding a Question About Method Switching to the Method Information Index Is a Better Predictor of Contraceptive Continuation
      Aparna Jain, Kumudha Aruldas, Elizabeth Tobey, Arupendra Mozumdar and Rajib Acharya
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):289-299; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00028

      Adding the question “Were you told about the possibility of switching to another method if the method you selected was not suitable?” to the Method Information Index (MII) was associated with better contraceptive continuation. This MIIplus variable includes another domain of quality of care, and thus better reflects voluntary contraceptive use and continuation.

      Introduction of Community-Based Provision of Subcutaneous Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA-SC) in Benin: Programmatic Results
      Tishina Okegbe, Jean Affo, Florence Djihoun, Alexis Zannou, Odilon Hounyo, Gaston Ahounou, Karamatou Adegnika Bangbola and Nancy Harris
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):228-239; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00002

      Lay community health workers and facility-based health care providers in Benin were trained to administer DMPA-SC safely and effectively in 10 health zones. Community-based DMPA-SC was popular, particularly among new users of contraception, and could help the country achieve its family planning goals.

      Are Procured Quantities of Implants Adequate and Appropriate? Modeling Procurement, Inventory, and Consumption of Contraceptive Implants During Rapid Uptake
      Laila Akhlaghi, Alexis Heaton and Yasmin Chandani
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):240-257; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00017

      Recent rapid increases in implant procurement have not resulted in system overstocks to date. We found no standard factor for relating inventory quantities to consumption rates. Rather, that relationship requires specific understanding of the country supply chain, inventory control parameters, and current and future demand.

      Efficacy of a Digital Health Tool on Contraceptive Ideation and Use in Nigeria: Results of a Cluster-Randomized Control Trial
      Stella Babalola, Caitlin Loehr, Olamide Oyenubi, Akinsewa Akiode and Allison Mobley
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):273-288; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00066

      A mobile digital health tool piloted in Kaduna City, Nigeria, was efficacious in promoting positive contraceptive attitudes and encouraging women to adopt a modern contraceptive method, thus showing potential for reducing unmet need in Nigeria.

      The Extent to Which Performance-Based Financing Programs' Operations Manuals Reflect Rights-Based Principles: Implications for Family Planning Services
      Marie S. Cole, Victoria Boydell, Karen Hardee and Ben Bellows
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):329-339; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00007

      Rights principles should be prioritized and more clearly stated in performance-based financing (PBF) guidance and operational documents. Additional research, including development of validated measurement metrics, is needed to help PBF programs systematically align with rights-based approaches to health care including family planning.

      Supervision of Task-Shared Mental Health Care in Low-Resource Settings: A Commentary on Programmatic Experience
      Christopher G. Kemp, Inge Petersen, Arvin Bhana and Deepa Rao
      Global Health: Science and Practice June 2019, 7(2):150-159; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-18-00337

      Task-shared mental health care programs in low-resource settings often incorporate supervisory structures that would be difficult to implement at scale, and many rely on foreign specialist experts as supervisors. Future programs could leverage peer supervision, technology, competency assessments/fidelity checklists, and other tools. Mental health care specialists will require training, support, and incentives to supervise generalist care providers.
