    Re-Evaluating the Possible Increased Risk of HIV Acquisition With Progestin-Only Injectables Versus Maternal Mortality and Life Expectancy in Africa: A Decision Analysis
    Maria Isabel Rodriguez, Mary E Gaffield, Leo Han and Aaron B Caughey
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):581-591; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00243

    Our model suggests that removing progestin-only injectables in Africa would have a net negative effect on maternal health, life expectancy, and mortality under a variety of scenarios.

    Jordan's 2002 to 2012 Fertility Stall and Parallel USAID Investments in Family Planning: Lessons From an Assessment to Guide Future Programming
    Esther Spindler, Nisreen Bitar, Julie Solo, Elizabeth Menstell and Dominick Shattuck
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):617-629; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00191

    Jordan's limited method mix, which has shifted toward less effective methods such as withdrawal and condoms, is a likely contributor to the plateau, coupled with social and cultural norms that discourage contraceptive use, such as preference for large family size and pressure to have a child immediately after marriage. Greater investment in social and behavior change and advocacy for stronger programming efforts are warranted.

    What Factors Contribute to Postabortion Contraceptive Uptake By Young Women? A Program Evaluation in 10 Countries in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa
    Janie Benson, Kathryn Andersen, Joan Healy and Dalia Brahmi
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):644-657; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00085

    Across the 10 countries, 77% of 921,918 women left with a contraceptive method after receiving abortion care. While contraceptive uptake was high among all age groups, adolescents ages 15–19 were less likely to choose a method than women 25 years or older.

    Improving Contraceptive Access, Use, and Method Mix by Task Sharing Implanon Insertion to Frontline Health Workers: The Experience of the Integrated Family Health Program in Ethiopia
    Yewondwossen Tilahun, Candace Lew, Bekele Belayihun, Kidest Lulu Hagos and Mengistu Asnake
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):592-602; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00215

    Between 2009 and 2015, 1.2 million women received Implanon implants from trained Health Extension Workers. Of the approximately 7,000 implant service visits made during the first 6 months, 25% were among women who had never used contraception before.

    Food Security and Nutrition Outcomes of Farmer Field Schools in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
    Shannon Doocy, Sarah Cohen, Jillian Emerson, Joseph Menakuntuala, the Jenga Jamaa II Study Team and Jozimo Santos Rocha
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):630-643; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00203

    A farmer field school program in food-insecure areas had positive impacts on household food security but not child nutritional status. Similar agricultural interventions may benefit food security, but the more difficult-to-achieve improvements in child nutrition status may require more focused and integrated programming approaches.

    Equal Opportunity, Equal Work: Increasing Women's Participation in the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative Africa Indoor Residual Spraying Project
    Abigail Donner, Allison Belemvire, Ben Johns, Keith Mangam, Elana Fiekowsky, Jayleen Gunn, Mary Hayden and Kacey Ernst
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2017, 5(4):603-616; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00189

    Promotion of gender policies led to increased hiring of women in supervisory roles in a large indoor residual spraying (IRS) program with no meaningful differences in IRS output between men and women spray operators.

    Family Planning in the Context of Latin America's Universal Health Coverage Agenda
    Thomas Fagan, Arin Dutta, James Rosen, Agathe Olivetti and Kate Klein
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2017, 5(3):382-398; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00057

    Latin American countries have expanded family planning along with universal health coverage (UHC). Leveraging UHC-oriented schemes to increase family planning program coverage, equity, and financing requires:

    • Prioritizing poor and indigenous populations

    • Including family planning services in all benefits packages

    • Ensuring sufficient supply of commodities and human resources to avoid stock-outs and implicit rationing

    • Reducing nonfinancial barriers to access

    Geographic Access Modeling of Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care in Kigoma Region, Tanzania: Transportation Schemes and Programmatic Implications
    Yi No Chen, Michelle M Schmitz, Florina Serbanescu, Michelle M Dynes, Godson Maro and Michael R Kramer
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2017, 5(3):430-445; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00110

    32% of estimated live births in the region may not be able to reach emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) services within 2 hours in dry season, regardless of the type of transportation available. However, bicycles, motorcycles, and cars provide a significant increase in geographic accessibility in some areas. Achieving good access may require upgrading non-EmONC facilities to EmONC facilities in some districts while incorporating bicycles and motorcycles into the health transportation strategy in others.

    Upgrading Supply Chain Management Systems to Improve Availability of Medicines in Tanzania: Evaluation of Performance and Cost Effects
    Marasi Mwencha, James E Rosen, Cary Spisak, Noel Watson, Noela Kisoka and Happiness Mberesero
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2017, 5(3):399-411; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-16-00395

    Investments in a national logistics management unit and electronic logistics management information system resulted in better data use and improvements in some, but not all, management practices. After 1 year, key improvements included reduced stock-out rates, stock-out duration, and expiry rates. Although the upgraded systems were not inexpensive, they contributed to greater system efficiency and generated modest savings that defrayed much of the investment and maintenance costs.

    Large-Scale Evaluation of Quality of Care in 6 Countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia Using Clinical Performance and Value Vignettes
    John W Peabody, Lisa DeMaria, Owen Smith, Angela Hoth, Edmond Dragoti and Jeff Luck
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2017, 5(3):412-429; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-17-00044

    When providers in 6 different countries were asked how they would care for the same patient, there was wide variation within and between countries. Nevertheless, 11% of the physicians scored over 80%, suggesting good quality of care is possible even with resource constraints. Use of validated clinical vignettes, which can be applied affordably at scale, could help improve quality of services in low- and middle-income countries.
