- Open AccessComplexity in Health: Can Design Help Support Interdisciplinary Solutions?Ledia Andrawes, Tracy Johnson and Michael ColemanGlobal 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.

- Open AccessIntegrating Human-Centered Design to Advance Global Health: Lessons From 3 ProgramsEmily Blynn, Emily Harris, Melanie Wendland, Courtney Chang, Dyness Kasungami, Monisha Ashok and Metsehate AyenekuluGlobal 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.

- Open AccessUsing Human-Centered Design to Develop, Launch, and Evaluate a National Digital Health Platform to Improve Reproductive Health for Rwandan YouthNicole Ippoliti, Mireille Sekamana, Laura Baringer and Rebecca HopeGlobal Health: Science and Practice November 2021, 9(Supplement 2):S244-S260; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00220
Human-centered design, done with attention to meaningful participation, equity, and accessibility, is an effective methodology to design digital health interventions with and for youth as it places their unique needs and motivations at the center of the design and helps to ensure usability, equity, and accessibility.
