    Role of Information Sources in Vaccination Uptake: Insights From a Cross-Sectional Household Survey in Sierra Leone, 2019
    Shibani Kulkarni, Paul Sengeh, Victor Eboh, Mohammad B. Jalloh, Lansana Conteh, Tom Sesay, Ngobeh Ibrahim, Pa Ousman Manneh, Reinhard Kaiser, Yuka Jinnai, Aaron S. Wallace, Dimitri Prybylski and Mohamed F. Jalloh
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100237; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00237

    Our findings suggest that health workers and faith leaders are important sources of information to deliver vaccination messages, given their strong association with vaccination confidence and uptake. In this context, vaccination promotion efforts that integrate faith leaders and health workers may help increase vaccination uptake.

    Applying Adult Learning Best Practices to Design Immunization Training for Health Care Workers in Ghana
    Denise Traicoff, Dieula Delissaint Tchoualeu, Joseph Opare, Melissa Wardle, Pamela Quaye, Hardeep S. Sandhu and George Bonsu
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):487-497; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00090

    Best practices of adult learning were used to develop a training of trainers program for the Ghana Health Service immunization workforce. The program supported translating learning to behavior change, used class time for practice-teaching and action plan development, linked formal instruction with specific activities, and offered follow-up mentorship.

    Evaluation of the Impact of Immunization Second Year of Life Training Interventions on Health Care Workers in Ghana
    Dieula Delissaint Tchoualeu, Bonnie Harvey, Mawuli Nyaku, Joseph Opare, Denise Traicoff, George Bonsu, Pamela Quaye and Hardeep S. Sandhu
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):498-507; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00091

    Applying performance-based training interventions that follow adult learning principles and include follow-up activities after training may help to solve specific performance problems and improve health care workers’ performance in immunization service delivery. These strategies facilitate learning, minimize the forgetting curve for health care workers, and should be considered as a standard practice for future training interventions.

    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.

    Translating Implementation Experiences and Lessons Learned From Polio Eradication Into a Global Health Course: Insights From an International Consortium
    Anna Kalbarczyk, Svea Closser, Aditi Rao, Oluwaseun Akinyemi, Humarya Binte Anwar, Eric Mafuta, Piyusha Majumdar and Olakunle O. Alonge
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):682-689; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00460

    Using international collaborations to develop educational materials presents several challenges but offers enormous benefits in gleaning a wealth of information, perspectives, and context. The global course that resulted from this collaboration mirrors the goals of implementation science more broadly—to bring the findings of research into routine practice to improve health services.
