    Targeted risk communication and community engagement strategies to raise Ebola virus disease awareness and knowledge, particularly in setting where risk of infection is perceived to be low, may not be sufficient to motivate people to adopt protective behaviors and prevention practices.

    Establishing a Standardized Surveillance System for Health Care-Associated Infections in Vietnam
    Daniella Coker, Ha Thi Kim Phuong, Lan Thi Phong Nguyen, Tran Ninh, Neil Gupta, Tran Thi Thu Ha, Nguyen Tuan Truong, Hoang Van Thanh, Amber Vasquez, Hien Thi Thu Bui and Paul Malpiedi
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2022, 10(3):e2100284; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00284

    Standardized surveillance for health care-associated infections (HAI) is critical for HAI prevention, yet standardized implementation across low- and middle-income countries is limited. With the support of partners, the Vietnam Ministry of Health implemented standardized HAI surveillance in 6 hospitals, and in doing so, identified 5 key elements for program success.

    The Salience of Trust to the Client-Provider Relationship in Post-Ebola Guinea: Findings From a Qualitative Study
    Natalie Tibbels, Zoé Hendrickson, Hannah Mills, Sidikiba Sidibé, Claudia Vondrasek and Tilly Gurman
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100429; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00429

    This qualitative study in post-Ebola Guinea showed that trust was a salient construct for clients making health care-seeking decisions in a postemergency setting. This analysis argues for global health programs to build trust between clients and the health system by addressing underlying domains of trust as defined by the clients themselves.

    Findings and Implications From an Evaluation of the Gold Star Campaign in Post-Ebola Guinea: The Role of Gender and Education
    Tilly Gurman, Darriel Harris and Sidikiba Sidibé
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100427; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00427

    During public health crises, such as an Ebola epidemic, people may lose trust in local health facilities. Short-duration mass media campaigns can improve attitudes about the quality of health facilities for men and women and can play an important role in encouraging future health service utilization.

    Social and Political Dimensions of Disseminating Research Findings on Emerging Zoonotic Viruses: Our Experience in Sierra Leone
    Dorothy Peprah, James Bangura, Mohamed Vandi, Harold Thomas, Monica Dea, Anton Schneider and Kendra Chittenden
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):459-466; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00321

    Disseminating research findings on emerging zoonotic viruses is a complex and sensitive process, particularly in contexts with histories of outbreaks. It requires an operational framework that considers the social and political context of stakeholders aiming to empower people to protect their health, while also supporting government leaders to advance global health security.

    Income Inequalities in Hepatitis B Vaccination and Willingness to Pay Among Women of Reproductive Age in Hanoi, Vietnam
    Xuan Thi Thanh Le, Nguyen Thao Thi Nguyen, Huong Thi Le, Toan Thanh Thi Do, Thang Huu Nguyen, Huong Lan Thi Nguyen, Trang Ha Nguyen, Linh Gia Vu, Bach Xuan Tran, Carl A. Latkin, Cyrus S.H. Ho and Roger C.M. Ho
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):523-531; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00480

    Many countries use a fee-for-service model for hepatitis B vaccination, which amplifies health disparities across socioeconomic statuses and contributes to inequalities in HBV vaccination rates. We examined the role of household income on women’s willingness to pay and the amount they are willing to pay for HBV vaccination to identify a more optimized payment scheme and equitable access across all income groups.

    Qualitative Review of Organizational Responses to Rumors in the 2014–2016 Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in Liberia and Sierra Leone
    Amelia J. Brandt, Bonnie Katalenich and David W. Seal
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):654-667; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00203

    Rumors and misinformation were a challenge in the 2014–2016 Ebola Virus Disease response and continue to be so in the current COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to understand previous organizational approaches to identifying and addressing rumors to refine and improve these approaches.

    New Mixed Methods Approach for Monitoring Community Perceptions of Ebola and Response Efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
    Giulia Earle-Richardson, Eva Erlach, Vivienne Walz, Ombretta Baggio, Molly Kurnit, Cheick Abdoulaye Camara, Christina Craig, Lucia Robles Dios, Daiva Yee, Gnakub Norbert Soke, Ialijaona Voahary and Christine E. Prue
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2021, 9(2):332-343; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00144

    The Red Cross community feedback system enabled rapid collection and analysis of extensive verbal feedback during an Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC. Using this information, Ebola response leaders adapted strategies to address community concerns. In an epidemic, community feedback is critical to ensure that response strategies are accepted and appropriate.
