      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):000; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00031

      A health system improvement program combining facility readiness support, clinical training/mentoring, and improvement collaboratives increased quality improvement capacity, improved maternal and newborn quality of care, and reduced neonatal mortality. These results can be used to inform system improvement approach design to transform quality of care and outcomes for newborns.

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):582-595; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00218

      We outline a simple, low-cost design—both scalable and adaptable worldwide—to decontaminate filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) using ultraviolet bulbs and supplies found in most hardware stores. The setup will help health care workers safely reuse FFRs in light of the shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

      Understanding whether and where parents take sick children for care is critical to improve child health and survival. Stakeholders should use this information to ensure that resources are programmed effectively and that sectors complement one another to increase equitable access to high quality integrated management approaches for sick child care.

      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.

      A health system improvement program combining facility readiness support, clinical training/mentoring, and improvement collaboratives increased quality improvement capacity, improved maternal and newborn quality of care, and reduced neonatal mortality. These results can be used to inform system improvement approach design to transform quality of care and outcomes for newborns.

      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.

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):372-382; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00011

      Improved biomass stoves may not reduce indoor air pollution as much as is needed to have an impact on adverse birth outcomes.

      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.

      Counseling Is a Relationship Not Just a Skill: Re-conceptualizing Health Behavior Change Communication by India’s Accredited Social Health Activists

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):332-334; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00426

      The capacity for India’s community health workers—accredited social health activists (ASHAs)—to promote healthy behaviors must be understood within the health system and community context. Their ability to influence health behaviors depends on the strength of their relationships with families and support they receive from the health system.

      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.

      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):606-611; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00050

      This resource list could serve to orient those interested in global surgery and could be supplemented with resources advocating for global surgery from clinical, population health, or policy perspectives.

      A Qualitative Exploration of Community Ownership of a Maternity Waiting Home Model in Rural Zambia
      Constance P. Fontanet, Rachel M. Fong, Jeanette L. Kaiser, Misheck Bwalya, Thandiwe Ngoma, Taryn Vian, Godfrey Biemba and Nancy A. Scott
      Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):344-357; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00136

      Community-based maternal child health programs should foster a sense of community ownership to promote sustainability. In rural Zambia, health interventions should be accessible to target communities and clear roles should be established among stakeholders for effective governance.

      Determinants of Facility-Level Use of Electronic Immunization Registries in Tanzania and Zambia: An Observational Analysis

      We provide a framework to quantify the use of electronic immunization registry systems at the facility level and results show the importance of behavioral and organizational factors in explaining their sustained use in Tanzania and Zambia.
