    Are We Using the Right Approach to Change Newborn Care Practices in the Community? Qualitative Evidence From Ethiopia and Northern Nigeria
    Zelee Hill, Pauline Scheelbeek, Yashua Hamza, Yared Amare and Joanna Schellenberg
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):383-395; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00410

    In Ethiopia, high community-level exposure to consistent messages and the perceptions of community health workers and relationships with them drove newborn care behavior change. In Nigeria, exposure to messages was limited, community health workers were less trusted, and behavior change was reported less frequently.

    Geographic information systems can be used to support informed decisions about practical issues related to implementing community health worker (CHW) programs. Demands placed on CHWs regarding expected population and surface area coverage and travel time to facilities need to be carefully considered to ensure they are rational and realistic.

    District Health Teams’ Readiness to Institutionalize Integrated Community Case Management in the Uganda Local Health Systems: A Repeated Qualitative Study
    Agnes Nanyonjo, Edmound Kertho, James Tibenderana and Karin Källander
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2020, 8(2):190-204; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00318

    District health teams failed to transition from partner-supported integrated community case management (iCCM) programs to locally-run and fully-institutionalized programs. Successful iCCM institutionalization requires local ownership with increased coordination among governmental and nongovernmental actors at the national and district levels.
