    Complexity in Health: Can Design Help Support Interdisciplinary Solutions?
    Ledia Andrawes, Tracy Johnson and Michael Coleman
    Global Health: Science and Practice November 2021, 9(Supplement 2):S217-S225; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00222

    Public health challenges are increasingly complex and won’t be solved through traditional methods by the public health community alone. Design, with its people-centered approach and collaborative practice to harness a diversity of perspectives, can facilitate interdisciplinary efforts to creatively resolve tough global health challenges.

    Integrating Human-Centered Design to Advance Global Health: Lessons From 3 Programs
    Emily Blynn, Emily Harris, Melanie Wendland, Courtney Chang, Dyness Kasungami, Monisha Ashok and Metsehate Ayenekulu
    Global Health: Science and Practice November 2021, 9(Supplement 2):S261-S273; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00279

    Lessons from 3 global health programs indicate that human-centered design (HCD) holds great potential for developing more tailored, impactful, and sustainable products and services to improve health and well-being. However, to take advantage of the full benefits of HCD, global health practitioners need to intentionally design and implement programs differently from typical health programs that do not incorporate design.
