    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.

    Megan S. McHenry, Lauren Y. Maldonado, Ziyi Yang, Gertrude Anusu, Evelyn Kaluhi, Astrid Christoffersen-Deb, Julia J. Songok and Laura J. Ruhl
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2021, 9(4):818-831; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00349

    A community-based intervention focused on women's health education may help protect against early childhood developmental delays in resource-limited settings.

    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.

    Negative Incentives for Noninstitutional Births Are Associated With a Higher Rate of Facility-Based Births in the Eastern Visaya Region, Philippines
    Shogo Kanamori, Marcelyn D. Bonhaon and Minerva Peregrino Molon
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):565-574; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00616

    Penalties imposed for noninstitutional deliveries by local government policies could motivate pregnant women to deliver at birthing facilities; however, local governments should address barriers to accessing a birthing facility in underserved areas before prohibiting noninstitutional deliveries.

    Readiness to Provide Antenatal Corticosteroids for Threatened Preterm Birth in Public Health Facilities in Northern India
    Ankita Kankaria, Mona Duggal, Anshul Chauhan, Debarati Sarkar, Suresh Dalpath, Akash Kumar, Gursharan Singh Dhanjal, Vijay Kumar, Vanita Suri, Rajesh Kumar, Praveen Kumar and James A. Litch
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):575-589; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00716

    In settings with limited resources that lack standards to ensure the quality of childbirth and newborn care, the use of antenatal corticosteroids is potentially harmful. Safe, effective use of antenatal corticosteroids requires providing standardized evidence-based practices and supportive supervision, training staff, and a facility-level actionable health information system.

    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):590-610; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00368

    The Care Around Birth approach provides an integrated implementation framework to improve the quality, equity, and dignity of care during the intrapartum and immediate postpartum periods, thereby addressing key drivers of maternal and newborn mortality.

    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.

    Micronutrient Powders for Infants and Young Children
    Stephen Hodgins and Rolf Klemm
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2021, 9(2):216-219; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00263

    Providing standalone micronutrient products for household use is not an easy strategy, but under the right conditions, it can work. To be effective, micronutrient powder programs require robust commodity logistics and support of uptake and adherence.

    Social Distancing in the Era of COVID-19: A Call for Maintaining Social Support for the Maternal Population
    Alaa Alhomaizi, Dalal Alhomaizi, Sandra Willis and Helen Verdeli
    Global Health: Science and Practice June 2021, 9(2):229-237; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00398

    In the era of COVID-19, pregnant and postpartum women, an already vulnerable group, are facing unforeseen and compounding stressful events with reduced social protections. We argue that to prevent harmful consequences that may surpass the effects of the crisis itself for pregnant women and their families, it is imperative to prioritize maintaining formal and informal sources of social support for mothers in proposed infection control policies.
