      What Is Global Health: Science and Practice Doing to Address Power Imbalances in Publishing?
      Sonia Abraham, Stephen Hodgins, Abdulmumin Saad and Madeleine Short Fabic
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):325-326; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00453

      A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of the Drivers of HIV Status Knowledge in Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Mozambique
      Allie Davis, Zola Allen, Nena do Nascimento, Jenifer Chapman, Rotafina Donco and Daan Velthausz
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):534-548; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00311

      We identified combinations of modifiable factors that HIV programs supporting orphans, vulnerable children, and their families may be able to act on to increase the proportion of beneficiaries who know their HIV status.

      Are We Using the Right Approach to Change Newborn Care Practices in the Community? Qualitative Evidence From Ethiopia and Northern Nigeria
      Zelee Hill, Pauline Scheelbeek, Yashua Hamza, Yared Amare and Joanna Schellenberg
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):383-395; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00410

      In Ethiopia, high community-level exposure to consistent messages and the perceptions of community health workers and relationships with them drove newborn care behavior change. In Nigeria, exposure to messages was limited, community health workers were less trusted, and behavior change was reported less frequently.

    1. Open Access
      Bringing Greater Precision to Interactions Between Community Health Workers and Households to Improve Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes in India
      Peter Smittenaar, B.M. Ramesh, Mokshada Jain, James Blanchard, Hannah Kemp, Elisabeth Engl, Shajy Isac, John Anthony, Ravi Prakash, Vikas Gothalwal, Vasanthakumar Namasivayam, Pankaj Kumar and Sema K. Sgaier
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):358-371; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00027

      We identified how the quantity and quality of actions taken by community health workers can be refined to move from a one-size-fits-all model to a precision approach that stands to benefit the health of the mothers and newborns they support.

  5. Arale, Ahmed

    1. Open Access
      The Critical Role and Evaluation of Community Mobilizers in Polio Eradication in Remote Settings in Africa and Asia
      Judy Lewis, Karen LeBan, Roma Solomon, Filimona Bisrat, Samuel Usman and Ahmed Arale
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):396-412; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00024

      Critical community health worker criteria are important for all community programs, including those focused on a single disease. Areas of importance include community engagement, local adaptation, and linkage with the health system—critical areas for current and future epidemics.

    1. Open Access
      Opportunities and Challenges of Delivering Postabortion Care and Postpartum Family Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic
      Anne Pfitzer, Eva Lathrop, Alison Bodenheimer, Saumya RamaRao, Megan Christofield, Patricia MacDonald, Bethany Arnold, Neeta Bhatnagar, Erin Mielke and Meridith Mikulich
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):335-343; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00263

      Devoting scarce health resources to meet the family planning needs of pregnant, postabortion, and postpartum women during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is an investment against higher health systems burdens during subsequent waves of the pandemic and a means to save lives and improve livelihoods.

  7. Assefa, Berhane

    1. Open Access
      Factors Associated With Delayed Contraceptive Implant Removal in Ethiopia
      Elizabeth Costenbader, Alice F. Cartwright, Misti McDowell, Berhane Assefa, Meza Yirga Tejeji and Eskindir Tenaw
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):000; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00135

      Women receiving implant insertion at the community level were significantly more likely to report keeping their implant for more than 3 years. Even when a referral or back-up system for removals existed, efforts to task-shift the provision of contraceptive implants may have inadvertently led to extended implant use.

      Measuring Service Quality and Assessing Its Relationship to Contraceptive Discontinuation: A Prospective Cohort Study in Pakistan and Uganda
      Karen T. Chang, Nirali M. Chakraborty, Amanda M. Kalamar, Waqas Hameed, Ben Bellows, Karen A Grépin, Agha Xaher Gul, Sarah E.K. Bradley, Lynn M. Atuyambe and Dominic Montagu
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):442-454; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00105

      The quality of services provided is likely to affect contraceptive continuation. However, findings are strongly influenced by the quality measurement tools used, emphasizing the need for standardization.

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):442-454; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00105

      The quality of services provided is likely to affect contraceptive continuation. However, findings are strongly influenced by the quality measurement tools used, emphasizing the need for standardization.

      Matching Development of Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tests to the Local Context: A Case Study of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Kenya and Uganda
      Michel Bengtson, Mitasha Bharadwaj, Astrid ten Bosch, Hellen Nyakundi, Damaris Matoke-Muhia, Cees Dekker and Jan-Carel Diehl
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):549-565; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00028

      We provide a new protocol to connect how findings from field research on the local health care setting in resource-limited regions can inform researchers that are working toward developing a new point-of-care diagnostic test for neglected tropical diseases.
