    Impact of Solar Light and Electricity on the Quality and Timeliness of Maternity Care: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster-Randomized Trial in Uganda
    Slawa Rokicki, Brian Mwesigwa, Peter Waiswa and Jessica Cohen
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):777-792; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00205

    Lack of access to reliable energy is a major neglected health system challenge to maternal and child health. We found that installing a solar energy system intervention in rural Ugandan maternity facilities led to modest increases in the quality of maternity care and reductions in delays in care.

    Development of an Innovative Digital Data Collection System for Routine Mental Health Care Delivery in Rural Haiti
    Alexandra L. Rose, Darius L. Fenelon, J. Reginald Fils-Aimé, Wilder Dubuisson, Sarah F.C. Singer, Stephanie L. Smith, Gregory Jerome, Eddy Eustache and Giuseppe Raviola
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):990-999; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00486

    Mental health information systems in low-resource settings are scarce worldwide. Data collection was accurate, yet sustainable staffing was a challenge when using task-shared clinical providers for data collection in health centers in rural Haiti. Integrating mental health data collection within existing data collection systems would help close this key gap.

    Nicole Ippoliti, Mireille Sekamana, Laura Baringer and Rebecca Hope
    Global Health: Science and Practice November 2021, 9(Supplement 2):S244-S260; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00220

    Human-centered design, done with attention to meaningful participation, equity, and accessibility, is an effective methodology to design digital health interventions with and for youth as it places their unique needs and motivations at the center of the design and helps to ensure usability, equity, and accessibility.

    Zeleke Yimechew Nigussie, Nebreed Fesseha Zemicheal, Gizachew Tadele Tiruneh, Yibeltal Tebekaw Bayou, Getnet Alem Teklu, Esubalew Sebsibe Kibret, Kristin Eifler, Sarah E. Hodsdon, Dessalew Emaway Altaye, Leona Rosenblum, Yeshiwork Aklilu Getu, Zinar Nebi, Ephrem Tekle Lemango, Eyob Kebede and Wuleta Aklilu Betemariam
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):668-681; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00685

    The use of mobile health (mHealth) in Ethiopia’s primary health care system offers a potential solution to improve timeliness and quality for maternal and newborn health care services. It is user-friendly and fosters communication between health care workers and health extension workers to provide quality services across the pregnancy continuum of care.

    An International Virtual Classroom: The Emergency Department Experience at Weill Cornell Medicine and Weill Bugando Medical Center in Tanzania
    Lynn G. Jiang, Peter W. Greenwald, Michael J. Alfonzo, Jane Torres-Lavoro, Manish Garg, Ally Munir Akrabi, Erasto Sylvanus, Shahzmah Suleman and Radhika Sundararajan
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):690-697; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00005

    We created a sustainable, bidirectional partnership using telecommunication technology to enhance emergency medicine education collaboration. Telemedicine is a practical and innovative methodology to expand training in emergency medicine and establish bidirectional partnerships between academic departments in high-income and low- and middle-income countries.

    Global Access to Technology-Enhanced Medical Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Students in Narrowing the Gap
    Aleksander Dawidziuk, Michal Kawka, Bartosz Szyszka, Ignatius Wadunde and Aastha Ghimire
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(1):10-14; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00455

    Althoughsome medical education institutions in high-income countries have the capacity to shift education to eLearning during the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions in low- and middle-income countries might struggle to fully implement it. We argue for medical students to advocate for national and international collaboration in adopting technology-enhanced learning globally.

    Blended Learning Using Peer Mentoring and WhatsApp for Building Capacity of Health Workers for Strengthening Immunization Services in Kenya
    Iqbal Hossain, Isaac Mugoya, Lilian Muchai, Kirstin Krudwig, Nicole Davis, Lora Shimp and Vanessa Richart
    Global Health: Science and Practice March 2021, 9(1):201-215; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00421

    Innovative learning strategies are needed to improve frontline health workers' skills for achieving immunization coverage goals—now even more important with COVID-19. Peer mentoring and WhatsApp networking are low-cost and useful blended learning methods for need-based and individualized capacity building of health workers for improving immunization services that don't disrupt the health care workers' regular work.

    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.

    Using Community Health Workers and a Smartphone Application to Improve Diabetes Control in Rural Guatemala
    Sean Duffy, Derek Norton, Mark Kelly, Alejandro Chavez, Rafael Tun, Mariana Niño de Guzmán Ramírez, Guanhua Chen, Paul Wise and Jim Svenson
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):699-720; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00076

    A smartphone application providing algorithmic clinical decision support enabled community health workers to improve diabetes control for a group of patients in rural Guatemala. This approach enables task sharing with physicians and other advanced practitioners for chronic disease care, which is particularly important in low-resource settings.

    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.
