    Implementation Approaches for Introducing and Overcoming Barriers to Hepatitis B Birth-Dose Vaccine in sub-Saharan Africa
    Alix Boisson, Varun Goel, Marcel Yotebieng, Jonathan B. Parr, Bruce Fried and Peyton Thompson
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100277; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00277

    We discuss determinants of hepatitis B birth-dose vaccine uptake in sub-Saharan Africa countries at the policy, facility, and community levels and propose solutions to known barriers of hepatitis B vaccine introduction in low- and middle-income countries.

    Lessons Learned During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Strengthen TB Infection Control: A Rapid Review
    Helena J. Chapman and Bienvenido A. Veras-Estévez
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):964-977; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00368

    In light of competing health priorities of COVID-19 and TB, we propose recommendations to strengthen health system preparedness for optimal TB control across low- and middle-income countries during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Leveraging the Client-Provider Interaction to Address Contraceptive Discontinuation: A Scoping Review of the Evidence That Links Them
    Kendal Danna, Alexandra Angel, Jamee Kuznicki, Laetitia Lemoine, Klaira Lerma and Amanda Kalamar
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):948-963; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00235

    After examining existing evidence on contraceptive counseling and its impact on discontinuation, this scoping review identifies principles and priorities for better rights-based counseling, yet also illuminates the need for more evidence to understand relationships between counseling and discontinuation.

    Implementation of GeneXpert for TB Testing in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
    Scott Brown, Justine E. Leavy and Jonine Jancey
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):698-710; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00121

    This review highlights a commonality of implementation barriers across geographically dispersed GeneXpert interventions for TB testing. This indicates the importance of using implementation frameworks to report findings that can improve public health outcomes across low- and middle-income countries.

    Human Resources for Health-Related Challenges to Ensuring Quality Newborn Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review
    Nancy Bolan, Karen D. Cowgill, Karen Walker, Lily Kak, Theresa Shaver, Sarah Moxon and Ornella Lincetto
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(1):160-176; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00362

    We mapped evidence from low- and middle-income countries of the human resources for health-related challenges to providing quality facility-based newborn care into tangible thematic areas. The mapping provides valuable insight that informed new World Health Organization strategies to systematically address the challenges identified and to strengthen human resources for health for newborn care globally and nationally.

    Routine Family Planning Data in the Low- and Middle-Income Country Context: A Synthesis of Findings From 17 Small Research Grants
    Bridgit Adamou, Janine Barden-O’Fallon, Katie Williams and Amani Selim
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):799-812; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00122

    A review of 5 years of small grant-funded research highlighted overarching barriers to and opportunities for using family planning data in routine health information systems in low- and middle-income countries. We report on factors affecting data quality, analysis, and use, and suggest strategies to improve routine family planning data.

    Effectiveness of mHealth Interventions for Improving Contraceptive Use in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
    Banyar Aung, Jason W. Mitchell and Kathryn L. Braun
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):813-826; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00069

    Do mHealth interventions help reduce unmet contraceptive needs in low- and middle-income countries by attempting to increase the uptake of modern contraceptive methods? Which mHealth features and behavior change communication components were used in these mHealth interventions? This review aimed to answer these questions and assess the impact of these interventions on contraceptive uptake outcomes.

    Factors That Influence Data Use to Improve Health Service Delivery in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
    Nicole Rendell, Kamalini Lokuge, Alexander Rosewell and Emma Field
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):566-581; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00388

    We identified factors that may influence the relationship between information generation and improvement of health service delivery: governance (leadership, participatory monitoring, regular review of data); production of information (presentation of findings, data quality, qualitative data); and health information system resources (electronic health management information systems, organizational structure, training).

    Close to Home: Evidence on the Impact of Community-Based Girl Groups
    Miriam Temin and Craig J. Heck
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2020, 8(2):300-324; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00015

    Available evidence, though limited, shows that programs can use community-based girl groups to help adolescent girls improve attitudes toward gender roles and norms, early pregnancy, and child marriage; evaluations indicate they have suboptimal performance on health behavior and health status.
