    How Poor Is Your Sample? A Simple Approach for Estimating the Relative Economic Status of Small and Nonrepresentative Samples
    Jan Ostermann, Nicole Hair, Volker Grzimek, Siyu Zheng, Wenfeng Gong, Kathryn Whetten and Nathan Thielman
    Global Health: Science and Practice April 2023, 11(2):e2200394; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-22-00394

    The authors demonstrate the simplicity and utility of a method for estimating the relative economic status of small and nonrepresentative samples relative to existing representative reference populations.

    Designing for Impact and Institutionalization: Applying Systems Thinking to Sustainable Postpartum Family Planning Approaches for First-Time Mothers in Bangladesh
    Melanie Yahner, Angela Muriuki, Amy Mangieri, Syeda Nabin Ara Nitu, Shumona Shafinaz and Eric Sarriot
    Global Health: Science and Practice October 2022, 10(5):e2200023; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-22-00023

    Public health practitioners often design interventions prioritizing potential impact over sustainability. To assess the potential for impact and institutionalization, we applied systems thinking to postpartum family planning approaches for first-time mothers in Bangladesh.

    Transitioning to Digital Systems: The Role of World Health Organization’s Digital Adaptation Kits in Operationalizing Recommendations and Interoperability Standards
    Tigest Tamrat, Natschja Ratanaprayul, Maria Barreix, Özge Tunçalp, David Lowrance, Jenny Thompson, Leona Rosenblum, Nancy Kidula, Ram Chahar, Mary E. Gaffield, Mario Festin, James Kiarie, Brian Taliesin, Carl Leitner, Sylvia Wong, Teodora Wi, Hillary Kipruto, Ayotunde Adegboyega, Derrick Muneene, Lale Say and Garrett Mehl
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100320; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00320

    The World Health Organization (WHO) digital adaptation kits distill WHO guidance into a standardized format that can be more easily incorporated into digital systems and facilitate communication between the health workforce and technologists to enable a shared understanding of the underlying content.

    Systematic Process Framework for Conducting Implementation Science Research in Food Fortification Programs
    Emily Teachout, Laura A. Rowe, Helena Pachon, Becky L. Tsang, Lorraine F. Yeung, Jorge Rosenthal, Hilda Razzaghi, Meredith Moore, Dora Panagides, Peiman Milani and Michael J. Cannon
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2021, 9(2):412-421; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00707

    Many challenges still exist to fully scaling up food fortification in lower resource settings. To address this need, a collective group of experts in the fields of food fortification and implementation science developed a systematic process framework to provide a tool for identifying and working through challenges.

    Using Human-Centered Design to Adapt Supply Chains and Digital Solutions for Community Health Volunteers in Nomadic Communities of Northern Kenya
    Sarah R. Andersson, Sarah Hassanen, Amos M. Momanyi, Danielson K. Onyango, Daniel K. Gatwechi, Mercy N. Lutukai, Karen O. Aura, Alex M. Mungai and Yasmin K. Chandani
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(Supplement 1):S151-S167; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00378

    Investing the time and effort to use human-centered design (HCD) approaches is beneficial to designing supply chains and digital solutions for complex sociocultural settings. HCD enables users to be engaged in cocreating solutions that address their challenges, are appropriate for their context and capacity, and build local ownership.

    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
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):827-837; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00221

    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.

    Mask Reuse in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Creating an Inexpensive and Scalable Ultraviolet System for Filtering Facepiece Respirator Decontamination
    Rachel M. Gilbert, Michael J. Donzanti, Daniel J. Minahan, Jasmine Shirazi, Christine L. Hatem, Brielle Hayward-Piatkovskyi, Allyson M. Dang, Katherine M. Nelson, Kimberly L. Bothi and Jason P. Gleghorn
    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.

    Using a Chord Diagram to Visualize Dynamics in Contraceptive Use: Bringing Data Into Practice
    Amy Finnegan, Saumya S. Sao and Megan J. Huchko
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2019, 7(4):598-605; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00205

    A chord diagram is an innovative tool that can be used to visualize switching and quitting in contraceptive use between 2 discrete time points. It complements existing analysis of contraceptive failure rates and provides a richer understanding of contraceptive discontinuation and method switching that can lead to fresh insights to improve family planning programs.

    Harmonizing Methods for Estimating the Impact of Contraceptive Use on Unintended Pregnancy, Abortion, and Maternal Health
    Ian Askew, Michelle Weinberger, Aisha Dasgupta, Jacqueline Darroch, Ellen Smith, John Stover and Melanie Yahner
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):658-667; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00121

    Five models estimate the impact of family planning on health outcomes, but the estimates previously have diverged because the models used different assumptions, inputs, and algorithms. After a collective harmonization process, the models now produce more similar estimates although they retain some minimal differences. These models assist in planning, resource allocation, and evaluation.

    Strategies for Optimal Implementation of Simulated Clients for Measuring Quality of Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
    Anne Fitzpatrick and Katherine Tumlinson
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2017, 5(1):108-114; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00266

    When properly implemented, use of simulated clients (“mystery clients”) can provide insight into actual experiences of real clients and evaluate quality of care. Successful implementation calls for recruiting mystery clients who represent the facility's clientele, have strong recall of recent events, and are comfortable being undercover data collectors. Developing training protocols and checklists to standardize mystery client behavior and responses is also key.
