      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.

      What progress has been achieved toward reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health service related Sustainable Development Goals? Analyzing data to estimate coverage of these indicators, we observed that acceleration is needed in coordinated global efforts and government policies to ensure universal access to RMNCH care services by 2030.

      Effects of a Community-Based Program on Voluntary Modern Contraceptive Uptake Among Young First-Time Parents in Cross River State, Nigeria

      Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):783-798; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00111

      Among young first-time mothers, participation in a comprehensive, community-based program led to a 3-fold increase in voluntary modern contraceptive use and other positive changes. These results demonstrate the importance of investing in interventions for this youth population that ideally address a range of priorities across the first-time parent lifestage.

      Prevention of COVID-19 in Internally Displaced Persons Camps in War-Torn North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo: A Mixed-Methods Study

      Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):638-653; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00272

      Internally displaced persons fleeing violent conflict represent a neglected population with heightened vulnerability to pandemic COVID-19. We provide a rare snapshot of the overwhelming challenges faced by internally displaced persons in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as they brace for COVID-19.

      A Practical Guide to Using Time-and-Motion Methods to Monitor Compliance With Hand Hygiene Guidelines: Experience From Tanzanian Labor Wards
      Giorgia Gon, Said M. Ali, Robert Aunger, Oona M. Campbell, Mícheál de Barra, Marijn de Bruin, Mohammed Juma, Stephen Nash, Amour Tajo, Johanna Westbrook, Susannah Woodd and Wendy J. Graham

      Understanding hand hygiene behaviors is critical in hospitals. We developed the HANDS at birth tool—and provide information on its design and implementation–to capture the complex patterns of health care workers’ hand hygiene including hand rubbing/washing, glove use, and recontamination.

      A Cluster-Randomized Trial to Test Sharing Histories as a Training Method for Community Health Workers in Peru
      Laura C. Altobelli, José Cabrejos-Pita, Mary Penny and Stan Becker
      Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):732-758; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00332

      Women naturally communicate using life narratives. Through systematic recall and sharing memories of their own childbearing and child rearing experiences, community health workers (CHWs) become engaged and empowered to change their own and other mothers’ health behaviors. Training CHW with sharing histories can improve capabilities as change agents for better child health.

      The undeniable benefit of mentorship by experience senior mentors can meaningfully increase the breadth of their experience and contributions to society as well as address the dire inequality in global health. This model captures wisdom lost to retirement, enables opportunities for purposeful lifespan, underpins sustainable health care systems, and has the potential for building multinational partnerships.

      Lessons learned from implementing evaluations for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria can help inform the design and implementation of ongoing or future evaluations of complex interventions. We share 5 lessons distilled from over 7 years of experience implementing evaluations in 7 countries.
