- Open AccessRoutine Family Planning Data in the Low- and Middle-Income Country Context: A Synthesis of Findings From 17 Small Research GrantsBridgit Adamou, Janine Barden-O’Fallon, Katie Williams and Amani SelimGlobal Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):799-812; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00122
A review of 5 years of small grant-funded research highlighted overarching barriers to and opportunities for using family planning data in routine health information systems in low- and middle-income countries. We report on factors affecting data quality, analysis, and use, and suggest strategies to improve routine family planning data.

Do mHealth interventions help reduce unmet contraceptive needs in low- and middle-income countries by attempting to increase the uptake of modern contraceptive methods? Which mHealth features and behavior change communication components were used in these mHealth interventions? This review aimed to answer these questions and assess the impact of these interventions on contraceptive uptake outcomes.

Health care provider-caregiver interactions and caregivers’ shifting emotional states between intention formation and use affected their adherence to a government-provided micronutrient powder intervention to prevent childhood anemia. In counseling directed to caregivers, we suggest providers offer clear messaging on MNP impact and planning for challenges during MNP use.
