    Global Research Priorities for Understanding and Improving Respectful Care for Newborns: A Modified Delphi Study
    Hagar Palgi Hacker, Elena Ateva, R. Rima Jolivet, Bushra Al-makaleh, Theresa Shaver and Emma Sacks
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100292; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00292

    To inform the developing research field of respectful care, we identified global research questions that are specific to respectful newborn care. The top descriptive, implementation, and measurement questions focused primarily on defining, promoting, measuring, and advocating for respectful care.

    Mother-Baby Friendly Philippines: Using Citizen Reporting to Improve Compliance to the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes
    Kate Reinsma, Alfred Jose C. Ballesteros, Rene Andrew A. Bucu, Teddy S. Dizon, Nathan John U. Jumalon, Lorelane C. Ramirez, Czarina Anne A. Villareiz, Carleneth San Valentin and Maria Rosario S. Vergeire
    Global Health: Science and Practice February 2022, 10(1):e2100071; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00071

    Citizen reporting has the potential to improve compliance with the International Code of Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes. However, any investments made on improving citizen and reporting platforms must be matched with similar investments in streamlining government processes, transparency, and confidence-building across all stakeholders.

    Kojo Nimako, Anna Gage, Caroline Benski, Sanam Roder-DeWan, Khatra Ali, Charles Kandie, Aisha Mohamed, Hellen Odeny, Micky Oloo, John Tolo Boston Otieno, Maximilla Wanzala, Rachel Okumu and Margaret E. Kruk
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):1000-1010; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00684

    Service delivery redesign is needed to accelerate progress toward improved health outcomes. Kakamega County, Kenya, demonstrates that there is a strong base of health system assets that would serve as a starting point to successfully implement maternal and newborn health service delivery redesign.

    Household Survey Measurement of Newborn Postnatal Care: Coverage, Quality Gaps, and Internal Inconsistencies in Responses
    Kimberly Peven, Louise Tina Day, Debra Bick, Edward Purssell, Cath Taylor, Joseph Akuze and Lindsay Mallick
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):737-751; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00209

    Reliable measurement of postnatal content of care is currently lacking despite the critical importance of care in this vulnerable period. We found that there is a large quality-coverage gap with missed opportunities for quality care as well as internal inconsistencies in responses to newborn questions.

    Projecting the Impact of Nutrition Policy to Improve Child Stunting: A Case Study in Guatemala Using the Lives Saved Tool
    Scott Tschida, Ana Cordon, Gabriela Asturias, Mónica Mazariegos, María F. Kroker-Lobos, Bianca Jackson, Peter Rohloff and David Flood
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):752-764; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00585

    We projected the impact of a Scaling Up Nutrition intervention policy, the Great Crusade, and found that increasing intervention coverage is unlikely to improve child stunting outcomes in Guatemala to meet Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

    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.

    Accuracy of Using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference to Detect Wasting Among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Nepal
    Krishna Prasad Lamsal, Kedar Raj Parajuli, Bhim Kumari Pun, Ramesh Prasad Adhikari, Manoj Bashyal, Baburaja Dangol and Kenda Cunningham
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):881-889; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00450

    When comparing the sensitivity and specificity of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) versus weight-for-height z-scores (WHZ) to identify wasting in children aged 6–59 months in Nepal, our findings suggest that only using MUAC compared to WHZ to screen may exclude a large number of children who could be at risk of severe or moderate acute malnutrition.
